Red Rash On Legs, Ankles. Have AODM, HBP, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia. Reason?

i have a progressing red rash-like appearance of my lower legs. It began in ankles and has now progressed up to 2 inches below my knees. the warmer my legs, the redder they become. I have AODM and HBP which are controlled. I am overweight and have been most of my adult life. I am 4'9 1/4" and 165 #. I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Is the redness due to my ADOM. I have noticed in other diabetics, they seem to have a hyperpigmentation on darkening of lower extremities. Is mine the same?
