What Causes Outbreak Of Red Rashes On Legs And Ankles Along With Swelling?

Hi I was working outside in the yard last summer. I had on shorts and was working with some chemicals for my patio . The next day I notice that my skin on my legs were breaking out in red. A couple of weeks later I started getting swelling in the legs and ankles. I was given some tropical cream to use and it didn t do the job, so I went back and the doctor gave me some steroids . The rash is finally clearing up after 1 year, but it has red marks on the skin and dark around my ankles. I DON T know what I can use to clear up the redness.
