Suggest Treatment For A Red Rash On The Legs
I had total knee replacements about 5 years ago. Pressure stockings were used at the hospital. I developed a rash which extended from ankle to just below the knees. It has never gone away and i redder than ever, and even included my toes being dark red. No history of diabetes and 2 separate ultrasonic tests showed normal vein blood flow in my legs.

Hi,
It may be a contact allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take tab cetirizine. Apply mild steroid cream like mometasone cream. Avoid contact with suspected allergens.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
