I have had this thing on my ankle for about a year now. I don't want to call it a rash, because its under my skin as well. It started out as little bumps under my skin....

Brief Answer:
vasculitis with varicosity
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query and history. Since your work is related to prolong standing and the lesion is increasing in size, it is more likely a varicosity leading to vasculitis. I insist you see a surgeon / vascular surgeon for complete examination and treatment. Most probably you will be advised to use compression stockings. If medical management is not possible, you may require surgical intervention.
Hope I have answered you. You can close the discussion and rate the answer, if you don't have further query.
Wish you good health
Regards
