Of course we can: not examine your arm over the internet so it will be difficult to confirm the presence of cellulitis or not. There are some dangerous pathogens that can infect wounds associated with falling, abrasions and dirt exposure so it would be best to have a health care professional evaluate the area personally in case you need antibiotic treatment.
