Hello,
Yes, it can be cellutitis, but you say it happens after long periods he stays on his feet and this maybe is thrombophlebitis. You have to take an appointment with your doctor because it needs treatment in both cases. Make some examinations like blood test and echo Doppler.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
