Swollen, Red, Itchy Legs. Applied Cream Without Relief. Worried

I'm writing this letter in hopes that somebody, anybody can help me. For the past decade my father, Jason, has had swollen, red, itchy legs. They have large scabs that itch and bleed once scratched. Just like mosquito bites. No doctor can help. He has been to specialist after specialist. Doctor after doctor, and NOBODY seems to have any clue what this horrible sickness is. He was prescribed some type of cream and he applies it onto the open scabs. Lately, I've been very worried about him. His feet always hurt. I, myself just want answers. I'm worried to death for his health. My biggest fear is he wont be able to walk me down the aisle. Please. Please help. With every single bit of myself I'm begging you for help. You can call, e-mail, at this point I just want HELP!

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description it seems, he is having some type of eczema. It could be stasis or gravitational eczema.
The treatment protocol can only be suggested once we have seen the lesions. You may use the premium service of this website to provide us with all the clinical details and also upload images and reports of your dad. As this would help us in giving you a proper advise.
He will definitely walk you down the aisle.
Take care
