My mom developed a rash back in Novemeber 2014. The rasChatDoctores and goes and changes areas on the body. Right now it is on the left lower leg with edema from the shin to the foot. She has been to an allergist who feels it is not allergy related and thought maybe circulation. She also has seen a dermatologist. A few weeks ago the rash started oozing and a culture was done that showed a few bacterial things that the allergist never heard of. It is the ame leg that she had replaced many years ago. Could this maybe tied into the knee replacement? What should the next step be?
Hello, According to me, your mom is suffering from Cellulitis which is a bacterial infection of skin. Infection could be due to various cause, and it could be due to previous surgery (knee replacement). This condition may lead to extensive infection in the body. So, I strongly recommend you to consult your Dermatologist/Surgeon immediately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
