What Causes Large Red Spot On Shin?

I have a spot on my left leg on my shin. It started out the size of a dime and now has grown into the size of my hand. The outer part of the now very large spot has a red band and it can get itchy at times. I hate to press on the spot as it can be very discomfortable (No pain). I have seen my regular PCP who order a biopsy, came back absolutely nothing. I went to a Dermatologist who stated I had possible diabeties, and because I had bruise like spots on the same leg (both sides of my ankles) that do not go away. So he sent me back to my PCP for blood work. Blood work came back completely normal. No diabeties here! Next testing was for any type of blockage in my legs, etc. So I had to go to another Dr for them to do the cuff test and ultrasound, and everything came back normal there as well. This is so depressing and very nerve wrecking. I just want answers like everyone else. My right ankle does swell in the summer time occasionally. I do have a desk job as well. I try to be active as possible. If you have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
