I have a large area of redness that started on my knee and has spread down half of my right leg. I am being treated with antibiotics but really it looks like large spreading bruises. Any ideas what this could be. One doctor said that is was atypical cellulitus but it is not hot, swollen or painful. Any ideas what this could be?
