It sounds like you might have a rash or infection. The redness, purple color, itching, pain, and swelling could be caused by:

Contact Dermatitis: Skin irritation from something you touched.
Allergic Reaction: An allergy to something like soap, lotion, or a bug bite.
Infection: A skin infection like cellulitis, which causes pain, redness, and swelling.
Poor Blood Flow: If blood isn’t flowing well in your legs, it can cause swelling and skin changes.
It’s best to see a doctor to find out what’s going on and get treatment.
