What Causes Swelling And Rashes On The Leg Below Knee After A Fall?
my husband's left leg is extremely swollen from the knee down and it has a rash similar to hives, The rash is raised and now there are blisters on the back of his leg. He has had a hip replacement and fell on his leg 3 days ago. The swelling is so bad it looks like the skin may start splitting. the skin is beginning to look scalely. Any idea?

Hi,
It may be acute urticaria most probably. There may be some cause or idiopathic. You should consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. If any cause or triggering factor is found, remove it. I would recommend you to take tab bilastine 20 mg daily. Keep yourself away from the triggers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
