Can Pain And Itchy Rashes On The Shins And Calves Be Related To Arthritis?
Good evening. My question, is I am on my feet a lot with my work. I have swelling in my calf and front part of my shins. It is painful, it has a burn feeling. I have little rashes and the itch like crazy at night in bed. I I’d have arthritis in my hands, feet and toes too and did not know if they are related. Thank you for listening

Hello,
It can be a part of arthritis. We have to rule out many other causes also. As a first line management you can take antihistamines like cetrezine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
