Hi,
Thanks for your kind words. Merry Christmas.
Hello,
Such sudden swelling and redness of the skin of the leg can be due to cellulitis.It is diffuse infection of connective tissue with severe inflammation of dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin. Cellulitis is caused by a type of bacteria entering the skin, usually by way of a cut, abrasion or break in the skin which need not be visible. Diagnosis is confirmed by examination and blood culture. My sincere advice would be to get it examined from your doctor.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards
Hello umm i have noticed cuz iv been watching it and that it burns really bad to touch it and its really hard like solid around it and its like if you had poison ivy and you touch it and its in a cluster well thats what it feels like
Hello,
The first possibility was of cellulitis but since the lesion is dry and itchy, so possibility of nummular dermatitis is high. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used , whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid . Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.
If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
