Kicked a door and now calf area is swollen, red, bruised, and now there is a rash that has appeared what could this be??

Have it seen.: The most urgent question is whether you have developed a traumatic clot or not. This could be dangerous. Changes in the skin can occur if there is a lot of swelling and a cellulitis is possible. It needs to be seen ASAP.
