Leg Turning Red, Itchy And Swollen, Turning White Around Ankle, Spreading. Need Some Cure
My leg has been turning red and swollen. it has been difficult to wear normal shoes. It was turning white white around the ankle and i began putting lotion on it as it was feeling very rough. The last couple of days, it has started to spread. It is redder, the leg and foot are more swollen and tingly and constantly itching madly.
