I can't imagine why it would happen, but the first thought I had with your
description was cellulitis.
Feels like a sunburn from the inside, looks red from the outside - the
"blanched" area would be where the infection hasn't reached.
Fever would be consistent with this.
Need a MD who's a great diagnostician on this one! (MD cause you'll probably
need IV abx)
(I speak from awful experience with a lower leg)
