Should I Be Worried For Red, Blotchy Rash On My Feet And Ankles Causing Swelling?

Hi, I've just returned from Thailand and Vietnam and have a nasty red blotchy rash on my feet and ankles. I wasn't bitten but have had this for around a week now. On the flight home, both my ankles swelled considerably. Is this anything to worry about?
