Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Be Concerned For Having High BP With Swelling In Leg, Ankle, Skin Turning Red?
My mom who is 85 has developed swelling of just one foot,ankle and leg. She is on high blood pressure meds. About 7 months ago she had MOHs surgery on that same shin. The leg is becoming red, swollen to the ankle and the skin is turning red like a rash. Her doc put her on an antibiotic and doubled up on her water pills. She did this without examining her leg. Doc said she will see her on Tuesday. That is five days later. Is this something I should be concerned with, take her to Urgent care in the am or just Wait and see the doc?
Hi. It looks MOH may not have a relation to the present problem as it was done 7 months ago. I would advise you to take her to the urgent care as soon as possible.
