Had a small "bruise" fine for 2 days didn't do anything but then got very red swollen and big over last few days. dr said cellulitis. is this correct?

Well - the doctor: who evaluated you was able to get a full hx & to do a physical exam. From the info available - I can only say it could be consistent with cellulitis.
