Hello

I have studied your case.

As per your history and symptoms possibility of cellulitis with dermatitis can be considered on shin.
Primarily you can take enzyme to decrease swelling like Tab Trypsin and chymotrypsin.
Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be confirmed, antibiotic can be started according to examination.

If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
Colour Doppler study will help to know cause of edema.
Take precaution to avoid spread of infection.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
