What Causes Red And Scaly Patch Of Skin On Lower Leg?

Hi. I have an area at the base of my leg and top of my foot about a quarter size round. Its red and scaly and has been oozing yellow liquid. Its also a knot. It now has lots of blisters around it and all over both of my feet. Its extremely itchy as well. I have tried benadryl (in topical and pill form) as well as peroxide, vinegar and dr prescribed antibiotic ointment. Im just very lost on what this may be and hoping you have an idea and possible treatment?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it seems to be dermatitis with infection if I would be doctor of this case then I would treat this case with Tab Erythromycine 500 mg three times in day with local application of "Povidone Iodine" cream, keep the leg in elevated position hope this information, helps.
