Get it evaluated now: This requires immediate evaluation. It is impossible to offer specific advice without being able to visualize the rash and swelling. However, some causes can be potentially serious. See a doctor now or go to the er.

Get physical exam: Rashes and skin discolorations are the result of many diseases, medications, and conditions. You must be evaluated by medical doctor for this problem. Discuss any medications or drugs you have taken or are taking. This could be signs of serious reaction, allergic or immunologic, to bacteria, drugs, chemicals, or other infections.
