Have Red Sore On Legs And Buttocks. Happens In Colder Months. Treatment?
Hiya I work in a very cold factory and I have what I think may be cold burns. The tops of my legs are very red sore and very hot to the touch I also have it on my buttocks . I wear long johns under my clothes and wear overalls over the top. Could this be down to the cold as it only happens in the colder months an what can I use to treat it. Thank you Kim
