Can't tell: Diagnosing the reason for a rash is difficult enough even with direct examination. In your case, it is impossible to provide even a guess .  If this concerns you, a dermatology consult would be your best bet.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Inflammatory rash.: What you are describing may be inflammation of the skin or of the hair follicles. Try treating with an over-the-counter topical steroid, but if this is not helpful within 2-3 days, see a dermatologist. The fact there are many spots, and it is so itchy, warrants medical treatment.

mother has red itchy spots throughout left leg in which she fractured her ankles and had surgery. right leg doesnt have any. what can it be? can hardware from surgery be causing this? surgery was in 2017. should we worry and seek medical help?

Accepted Answer

: It sounds like your mother has developed a rash on her left leg where she had a previous injury and surgery.  While rashes as a result of hardware are fairly uncommon, it should be considered as a possibility.  It would be best to seek care where a trained professional could evaluate the rash to help guide treatment.
