I have small raised spots on my leg in the front about 5 above my ankle. The arey oozing a clear fluid in a small amount. But, it does appear to be relatively constant. Not an insect bite. No itching associated with it. I ve noticed the area being a little wet before. I thought it was sweat. It isn t sweat. What may be causing this? I have type 2 diabetes and quite honestly my control could be better.
Hi. As per your case history you are having subacute eczema. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
