A member asked:
Is it acceptable to make an appointment with a doctor for acne on my legs if its painful and making it hard to walk properly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is likely that it is not acne and you should see a doctor for lesions on your leg that are painful and interfering with walking. If you are overweight, it would be useful to reduce weight to a healthy level. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
