Scaly Dry Skin On Calves, No Itching. Treatment? Have Edema In Lower Legs
Hello, Thanks for the query, Edema of leg might be due to COPD. Considering the age, the itchy rash on leg can be senile xerosis. It is a common condition. A photograph would also help me in giving a closer diagnosis. Apply a mild steroid lotion like desonide in night. In day she can apply liquid paraffin. Also give her an antihistamine tablet for few days. This will give her some relief. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you a good health.
