Any rash experts around?

I had a slight itch on my leg earlier, so went to scratch it and found this rash. It’s raised and a bit bumpy, just above my ankle on the front of my leg.

The skin around it is very dry and a bit rough. The slightly mottled look on my rest of my leg is (unfortunately) pretty normal for me in the winter months.

I’ve got a GP appointment for next week anyway but just wondered if anyone recognised it.

For context, I am quite stressed, tired and run-down right now, have had cystitis for the last few days and have some kind of pain in the big toe of my other foot that I can’t figure out the cause of.

Any ideas?

Don’t know the cause of the rash. However, if it starts tracking down your leg, and/or the skin turns red/pink, then go to an and e, as it could be cellulitis.
