It can be bacterial skin infection most probably cellulitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It seems to be bacterial skin infection, mostly cellulitis.
In cellulitis skin as well as soft tissue is infected.
You can be prescribed anti inflammatory drug that contain paracetamol and serratiopeptidase for reducing pain and swelling.
Your doctor can put you on antibiotic for 10 days.
Diabetes, poor vascular supply to legs, injury to leg skin, pre existing skin disease like eczema etc are predisposing factor for infection.
I recommend you to consult your doctor for physical examination and get prescription accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks
