Sunburn Below Knee, Swollen Purple, Hurts To Touch, Fever, Chills. What Could This Be?

Thanks for your query.
Very rarely the part of the skin involved in a sun burn or an allergic reaction leaves that part more prone to similar or related reactions.
The exact cause of the reaction this time has to be ascertained and this can be done be a detailed examination and evaluating the history of allergies.I suggest you to take him to a Dermatologist who can examine,arrive at a specific diagnosis and plan management so as to prevent recurrence.
Meanwhile to reduce the inflammation in the lesion and provide some relief he can take Tab Benadryl once in night for three days.Also do apply Calamine lotion over the affected part this will prevent its progression and soothens the skin.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
