Suggest Remedy For Skin Problems And Soreness In Both Ankles And Legs

I have Fibromyalgia, but I am having edemas, at least that is what the sinking in of the skin in my ankles was called. Now, I have the skin caving in on both sides of my legs and ankles. Also both the legs and ankles are sore too. I workout 5-6 days a week for about 45 minutes to an hour. What can it be?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your case history, you have eczema, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroids like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
