From past 3 days a watery liquid is oozing out of her leg and she is having lot of itching on her leg and she got red rashes on her leg too... Please help us is this something serious
Hello dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query and understood your concern. It seems your mother has got acute dermatitis due to the pressure and irritation by the boot in contact. This may lead to secondary bacterial infection also. I will advise you to visit your dermatologist in person for proper examination so that timely medication can be given to prevent further complications. It usually gets easily treated within 2-3 weeks of proper medications. I hope it helps. If you have further queried, you may ask me. Stay healthy.
