How Can Skin Allergy On The Lower Legs Be Treated?
My wife has a skin reaction on lower legs in the calf area. It looks like an allergic reaction. Today, she had green tea which she had not had previously. However, yesterday she did a lot of yard work. Would an allergic reaction have to been from something today, or could yesterdays yard work cause a reaction (skin hives) which did not show up until today?
