General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I believe the skin of the leg may be infected. Please send me a photo of the rash in reports or visit a dermatologist. I believe he needs to take antibiotics and corticosteroid ointment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
