A member asked:
Red patch of skin on my lower leg. doesn't hurt, doesn't itch, it is just there. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be anything: A red patch could be anything. The presence or absence of itch is not a helpful characteristic. Since it is new, and persistant yould should see your doctor to get it looked at, as well as look for other areas where it may be present so it can be properly chategorized.
