My fathers legs get really red and swollen he s stubborn and hasn t seen a dermatologist this is happening more often now a couple moths ago he was out of work for a month he couldn t walk. Now it s back his dr gave him an antibiotic and sent him home but obviously that didn t work. I don t know what it could be.
Hello, Well, a little more history could have provided some input. Few questions here Is your father diabetic? High blood pressure? Any skin infection? Age? Since he is getting swelling of the leg, it might be due to poor venous return, which can be corrected by proper medication. For reducing swelling one needs to keep the leg over the pillow and perform ankle toe movements. If any Infection is related to skin then should definitely get examined by a skin specialist and a proper medication should be taken. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
