Should I Be Concerned About The Celluloid In 67 Year Old?

Hello my mom is 675yrs old few days ago she noticed red spots on her bilateral ankles warm on touch not painful but I would say edematous+2. She is not diabetic no kidney problems no heart issues, no vein thrombosis . She has HTN arthritis and hypothyroidism. Recently she has been taking Norvasc 10 mg daily, about 4days. Im worried about celluloid What do you think, DR? Thank you, Mercedes

This does sound like cellulitis and she needs to see her doctor for a course of antibiotics
