What Does A Red Rash On The Calf Indicate?

On my left calf I have big red circles that appear on the skin. They look like they are under the skin I had a doctor look at them a long time ago and she thought they might be related to varicose veins. But now when I press on the area it hurts and the area keeps getting darker red. Any thoughts as to what it might be?

A picture of the rash would have been very helpful.However, varicose veins may become dark red and pain. I will advise you see the Doctor for reevaluation.If diagnosis confirmed, treatment options may be discussed.
