Hello,
Thanks for the query,
The rash can be erysipella,
It is a bacterial infection of superficial lymphatics.
Infection from lymphatics goes to lymph nodes and hence causes pain and swelling.
You may require treatment with oral antibiotics.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
