Suggest Remedy For Burning And Itching In Leg
about 2 weeks ago, I broke my fifth metatarsyl. The doctors had me wearing a boot cast for about 2 weeks. I got re-injured this past weekend and had to get a water proof cast put on today. I took a shower and when I got out, I let all the water release as my orthopedic said to do. Well, ever since then my leg hasn't felt right. I'm afraid I'm having an allergic reaction to the cast. I have uncontrollable itching and it burns. There is barely any room for me to move to my foot. what do I do?

hi, welcome to health care magic
a mild itching and discomfort is always there with the cast, if the burning is more please do consult your orthopedician immediately if the symptom is only itching then you can try using some anti fungal powder to put inside your cast from the edges which may help you out
take care
