Brief Answer:
It could be Cellulitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Cellulitis is infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue.Any trivial cut or injury to the lowerlimb can cause Cellulitis which is warm on touch and tender on palpation.It may lead to fever also.
Colour Doppler/Ultrasound of the lower limb will give a clue.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Linezolid 600mg twice daily to my patients with Cellulitis.
Please consult your doctor and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
