How To Cure Scaling Of Skin While Removing The Cast From The Leg?
I just had my leg cast removed (which was due to an ankle sprain - tearing of the ligaments) and while taking it off, i was shocked to see my skin had been scalded on my foot. I will be going off to the beach and swimming pool in 2 days, will this have an effect? thank you.
Hi. As per your case history of scaling on foot, my treatment advice is - 1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream twice daily on it. 3. Take a folic acid plus b12 supplement once daily for 3 months. 4. Going to beach or swimming won't harm it. So don't worry. 5. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral fluconazole taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
