Yes, I have an area on my shin that has turned red and is painful and is very warm. I don t see any red streaks but the pain has moved up the inside of my leg and everyday for a week now I have had throbbing headaches body aches, felt nauseated and thrown up
Hi.have you had a recent history of trauma involving that area, or an insect bite? What you're experiencing may be an inflammatory reaction, progressing into a cellulitis (soft tissue inflammation). If it gets infected, an abscess formation might ensue. A consult with a doctor is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics, such as CBC, will be requested as needed. Medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (if indications are found) management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
