Yes a male friend of mine just a few days ago come down with flu like symptoms and the next day his leg was really red and had fever in it. He said he was very sick and couldn t hardly get out of bed. What could that be and should he be worried about it
It sounds like he may have cellulitis, which is an infection in the skin. Often before an infection shows up, you can get flu-like symptoms, like muscle aches and feeling sick. If he could hardly get out of bed, then I think he is quite sick and should be seen for it right away. An infection in the skin can easily cause blood poisoning (sepsis) and can be very dangerous. He may need someone to take him to emergency, but he should be seen and started on antibiotics right away. Hope this helps.
