A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
