Hi,
Lower limb rashes may be due to eczema or senile dermatitis or varicose veins or deep venous thrombosis etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. use local moisturizer cream.
Use Cetirizine twice a day for five days. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
