Big, Sore, Hot Patch Of Welt On Left Leg Below The Thigh To Shinbone, Redness In Lower Leg, Difficulty In Walking. Opinion?

Hi,

I have a welt on my left leg, the other day my inside leg was sore - it runs from below my thigh to right above my shin bone but on the inside of my leg. today it has turned into a giant welt/patch it's so sore to touch and to walk and it hot to touch. the red patch is mostly on the thigh but than some reddness runs into the lower leg. I see no bite mark or such, have had bed bugs in the past but this has never happend.

help please
