What could it mean if I woke up with redness on a leg that burns?

If you have a redness that feels warm to the touch, you could have an infection. You may also have a blood clot, especially if you stay in one postion for long periods of time or have had recent surgery. You should probably have this checked by a doctor.

It could be DVT also known as Deep Vein Thrombosis which basically is a blood clot, usually found in the legs. This should be checked by a doctor.

You will need to see a doctor to find out exactly what is. There are a few reasons I can think of though. If your leg is swollen and if you push on the skin and it stays down it could be edema. Also if it's not swollen and just burns it could be poision ivy or oak.
