my father is 68 and he has been having rashes on his calf area of legs (they kind of look like heat rashes) but he has had the rashes for awhile. And now his ankle and feet are very swollen? He does hve high bloodpressure and I would guess him around 6'0 and around 200 lbs
The symptoms seem to be related to a contact dermatitis. I recommend using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg. I also suggest using a cortisone cream for local application such as Betametasone cream. Cold compresses can be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
