No: If you truly have a skin infection the wind won't hurt it however many other causes of skin inflammation may be present some like dry chapped skin could get worse or be caused nyy the wind.

No: By definition being in the wind will not cause your cellulitis to be worse. If it is windy with a lot of ash sand etc. And you have an opened uncovered wound, then the wound cld get worse.
