Hello,
It is quite common after an attack of cellulitis. As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief.
If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
