Suggest Treatment For Rashes In My Legs
I just came back from cuba and have a rash on my legs. It started out as small little (looked like a mosquito bite) and got bigger and redder and my ankles are swollen. Went to a walk in clinic and was given an allergy medication and hydrocortisone 1%. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
Perhaps it is a cutaneous vasculitis. It usually presents as purpura along with burning sensation, pain and swelling of feet/ lower legs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
