What Causes Red Shaped Patch At The Back Of Leg With Soreness?
Hi, I have had eczema since I was 5 years old. Today when I woke up I looked at the back of my leg (where my eczema usually is) and there is a patch of red shaped like a scar... Around the scar shaped patch it is black and it is very sore when I try to walk. Could you help me on what to do with it? Thanks.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would suggest you to apply an antibiotic cream (Fusidic acid cream) for a week. You should consult your Dermatologist if you do not get any improvement with antibiotic cream even after a week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Siva Subramanian.
