Had Red Rash On Ankle. Leg Is Swollen. Rash Cleared With Cream. No Pain. Cure?

I recently woke up to a red rash on my ankle and above and then during the day the same leg swelled up.As I had been out rambling I thought it might be something to do with where my socks had been.I put some cream on my ankles and after a couple of days the rash dissapeared but my leg is still swollen but does not hurt or hot to the touch.

Hello,

Rash of the foot associated with edema.
The most common cause is viral infection or insect bite or shoebite.
The edema will reduce as the inflammation subsides.
