How To Treat A Large Indentation With Lump On The Right Calf?

I have a large indentation in my right calf. I noticed a lump in the middle of this indentation and it was itchy, so I applied black drawning salve thinking I possibly had an insect bite. This morning I have a large bumpy rash in that area. Aching knee joint as well.
