Hi, my mother is 65 years of age, she'd diabetes and high blood pressure. She's currently is trated through medication pills as follows: Diamicron 30mg = 3 pills daily Cozaar 100mg = 1 pill daily Centrum mix vitamins = 1 pill daily Calcium = 1 pill daily Adalat 30mg = 3 pills daily Plavix 75mg = 1 pill daily Lipitor 40mg = 1 pill daily before bedtime Vi-Di 3 = 40 drops daily after dinner Furosemide 40mg = half pill every other day For the last few weeks she had a red spot on her right leg abive the ankle by 2 inches. At first we thought it a result of a hit by s chair or the edge of the bed, but none turned to be true. The spot mafe her feel pain, like blood beats and as if someone is putting hard pressure on that leg area. Even when touched very gently she feels hard pain. For the last few days the area started to swollen and became with a top edge that has a crack is if something is going to come out. I'm using for her leg now gusiderm cream. Please advise. And ine last thing the leg skin becomes so dry after washing.
