What Is The Treatment For Sore On The Inside Of The Leg?

My friend has had a SORE on the inside of her leg since April. She finally went to the dr and after giving her some kind of a cream she was referred to a dermatologist. This dr took a culture and said it was probably a staph infection and referred her to a cardiac vascular doctor. Through all of this her leg has become quite swollen and red. The only med she has had was a prescription for Cepro . Which she finished a couple of weeks ago. I am quite concerned because she is not! The leg HURTS all the time even tho she has tried to elevate it most f the time

Hi,
From history it seems that this soreness might be due to improper circulation in legs caused by varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.
Color Doppler with ultra sound will give important clue regarding your problem.
Diabetes should be ruled out.
Consult vascular surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
