What Causes Bumps Under The Cast After Foot Surgery?
I had foot surgery about a week and a half ago and I ve had no problems with my cast until about two days ago when I went to my friends house. The cast goes from my foot to about mid calf. Little white bumps appeared under the cast about halfway down. The bumps have now spread just above my cast. And a few on my knee. What is it? Did a flea get in there? Or is it an infection? Reaction?

Hello,
It's better to take a blood test to figure out any infection. Usually, it doesn't happen but it's still better to find out with the help of the blood test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
