Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had surgery on my left knee 18 days ago due to torn cartilage (+ .... some arthritis). I walk O.K. Four days ago I got some red dots (small spots) similar to rash from my ankle up till 4 inches from my groin. Now, my right leg looks normal. How do I get rid of this problem please? Thank you very much.
