Hello and welcome to Ask a doctor Service. I have gone through your query.

I would like you to upload an Image of the affected area in "Reports Section". It seems like it could be a cellulitis/ skin infection but I would like to be sure.

Brief Answer:
Regarding rash on leg

Detailed Answer:
Thank you. I have viewed the Image.

Seems like you have an eczematous dermatitis. I suggest you to apply a moisturizer frequently. In addition I suggest you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g either mometasone furoate 0.1% or triamcincolone acetonide 0.1%, twice daily.

Take care.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
