Large, Red, Hot, Swollen Rash On Inner Thigh, Looks Like Bruise. Cure For Symptoms?

Woke up Sunday morning with a large, red, hot, swollen rash on my inner thigh, spread up to my hip and across to ther thigh. It has faded to a duller red now, alomost looks like a bruise.
I was vactionong in a cabin in the woods. It was not hot, I wasn't sweating.
Also saw similar reaction under both arms, but this has faded to near nothing, but a purple line.
