Default Rash from neuropathy?

I've got a very uncomfortable rash that only affects the area of my neuropathy. Its red and raised, and becomes very painful and itchy in the evening. Strangely enough I had the same rash exactly one year ago (pretty much to the day). I haven't started any new meds recently.

In the evening it looks like I'm wearing bright red socks.

I'm diabetic and have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy via ncv/emg. The assumption is that its diabetes related. Mine came on extremely suddenly about a year and a half ago. I have a couple of small numb spots on the bottom of one foot. However the pain/jolting/burning is spread over the classical sock pattern and can be excruciating.

I've not heard of a rash being a symptom of neuropathy so I'm asking here.

Thanks!
