Should One Complete The Full Course Of Antibiotics For Cellulitis?

I had cellulitis twice in 2 months. Both times I didn t completely finish my antibiotics by at about 2 days. The infection looks like it s gone away. Am I at risk of getting it again because I didn t finish my medication? Can the cellulitis still be in my system a month from now without showing any symptoms?
