What Does A Red Rash On Ankles Up To Calf Suggest?

I have a red rash on my ankles up my calf. It is a distinct horizontal line where it stops This happened last year and I thought it might be due to sun. It happened after I went golfing Yesterday I went golfing for the first time of the season and today I have the rash again. I wore long pants golfing so my legs weren t exposed to the sun

Hi
it may be due to allergy
suggest you use the clothes which are comfortable
some times shoe socks may also cause irritation/allergy (if so change the socks)
you can apply antiseptic skin cream for the rash

Wish You Good Health
