Insect borne illness: One possible cause is an insect born illness, tick or mosquitoes may be vectors of infection. Monitor your temperature, drink fluids and rest. The rash may also be an allergic reaction. Cellulitis is an infection and possibly associated with pus, swelling, tenderness and redness. Please follow up with your PCP soon. If the rash is itchy, an over the counter antihistamine is indicated and see a M.D
