What Causes A Skin Rash?
I had meniscus repair surgery in my right knee 10 days ago, and have noticed a red rash on the leg that I had surgery on. Very itchy, and runs from the middle of my shin up to mid thigh. Is this something I should be worried about or is this a normal reaction?

Hi,
The rash may be due to a variety of causes and could be related to the surgery done. You could take antihistamine tablets for symptomatic relief. But the ideal option is to visit your operating surgeon and to notify about the rash. He would refer you to a Dermatologist if necessary.
