What Does A Lump On Calf Indicate?

Hi there, I have a lump underneath the skin in my calf, have been to see my gp and they said it seemed like a dvt. However, since then a small rash has appeared on the surface almost like a scrape/scratch. It also itches and throbs and causes pain up my entire leg. I am obviously also worried about the possibility that it is cancerous.

possibly it is not cancerous and it is kind of thrombosed / dilated and engorged vein.

A Doppler study is recommended for proper evaluation

all the best!
