Have A Rash On My Leg. Looking For Advice. Started
Brief Answer:
Need a bit more information and images
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service.
I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
I'd request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected area in the "Reports Section" so that I am able to have a look and guide you accordingly.
Also, let me know if it is a dry/ scaly rash or is it oozy? Is it on both legs? or only on one side?
I hope to assist you further with your concern.

it seems to be getting better. it did come to a head and blood and puss came out. it doesn't hurt or itch. But, still here. sometimes it forms a head Again.
dry rash. sometimes it forms a "pimple" like and it drained out puss and blood. it felt better after that.
Did you get my image? is it Cancer?
Brief Answer:
Infected eczematous dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi. Apology for delay in reply.
I have viewed the image. It is an infected eczematous rash. I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for a few days. It would help take care of the infection - pus. After that I suggest you to use a moisturizer and a moderately potent topical steroid e.g either mometasone furoate or triamcinolone acetonide cream. It is not cancer or precancerous.
Take care.
