I am asking this for my husband, who s legs around the ankle area have become quite red and a hot, there is not pain or swelling just redness and some heat. He has ulcerative colitis and is on various medication and was recently on cortisone after a flareup, but has now stopped cortisone about 10 days ago. He takes other medication, blood pressure, cholesterol. This has happened about two weeks now, can you shed some light on this for us. Many thanks. Theresa (wife)
