My sister had cellulitis a couple of years ago and it was nasty. It was also about the size of a baseball mitt. She had some antibiotics and some surgery to debride the wound. It healed quite well after that - her impressive scar has faded a lot too.
It took a while, but she was fine after that. She has had a couple of episodes of it since then, but that has been because she rubs her legs until they are raw (unlike me who cuts!), and it has sparked off the cellulitis.
But it has never been as bad as it was the first time.
She'll be fine.
Take care
