What Causes A Red Itchy Rash On Right Shin?

Hello. In the last week or so I have developed a red itchy rash on my right shin. It is worse when it is warm (after a bath or when sleeping under the covers) and later in the day. I would go to our local walk in clinic but it is not open until tomorrow morning. I did have this in the same area briefly late last summer/early fall and it went away quickly on its own. What might I try as a home remedy to reduce the itching and redness?

Red itchy rash on right shin is most probably due to some fungal infection. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or moxikind-cv after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching ad redness. You can use betnovate-c cream or candid-b powder for local application.
