What Causes Small And Painful Red Area On The Right Shin?
My husband has a small red area located on his right shin, It is about the size of a half dollar and has raised white dots. It does have a stabbing pain when he walks after about 10-15 minutes but it goes away. He had a staff infection about 8 years ago in that general area but has recently lost around 30 lbs. What could this be? Sorry thought this was free. We don t have a credit card
