Suggest Treatment For Redness And Pain On The Left Foot
May be an abscess / cellulitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Male/70 - redness on outside of left foot - sore - bulge - since Tue - 18/4 - now leg also sore - soaking in Epsom salt solution ....
Since it is almost 5 days and the symptoms have increased, the possible cause I can think about is an abscess.
Please provide additional information for me to assist you better:
Is there any fluctuation in the reddened area?
Any history of diabetes or any other medical disease or medication?
Any history of trauma or injury?
Please post clear and focused pictures as they sometimes help for on-the-spot diagnosis.
A per the history you have provided, you may need an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication as well as incision and drainage if there is an abscess formation and further care as may be required.
I hope this answer helps you.
