Hard to say: Redness usually indicates inflammation or infection but the irregular shape is of concern. Please see a dermatologist immediately to make sure that it is not a form of skin cancer.

Cannot tell: These type of questions can never be precisely answered without seeing the rash. See a dermatologist.
