Later at the hospital, the doctor examined my leg which had turned bright red and was swelling including the front of my shin. She immediately told me to take off my sock and checked between my toes.
The culprit was an athlete's foot infection which had entered my bloodstream. I had itching between my toes for a couple of weeks, but it stopped. Stupid me. I am on twice a day injections of penicillin for 3 days now, and hopefully it will clear up.
I got it from the showers at the gym. If you have any signes of athlete's foot, make sure you take care of it quickly and not wait like I did.
