Hello,
Rash on calf may be due to allergic dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, drug induced dermatitis, bullous disorders and tenis corporis.
Thorough examination helps in diagnosis. Treatment depends upon the cause. Steroids may be necessary to relieve the symptoms. Please do contact a dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
