Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Your symptoms and history suggests me that you may be having an eczema of the lower limb ,Insect bite, contusion, varicose vein, contact detnatitis, etc.all these are also possibilities for your symptoms.

I would suggest you
1.Ice and compression to the area.
2.Elevating the area will help relieve pressure.
3.Massaging the area gently
4.Oral Antihistamines
5.Apply Moisturizing Cream.
Your condition will improve with these remedies.
Thank you.
