Hi,
The rash could be a cellulitis which is the bacterial infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue. But, it could be a non-infectious condition too. I request you to visit your dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and to initiate apt line of management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian, Dermatologist
