What Causes Itchy Rashes On Ankle Post Placement Of Plate And Screws?
I had surgery on my ankle in June. I shattered my ankle. They put a plate right above my foot where it bends up. I have had three surgery s on my left ankle and I m 27. I ve had screws and pins put in and no problem but here recently my leg has broken out in a rash and it itches very badly tried lotions itch creams Neosporin but nothing helps could this be because of the plate?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms may be due to plate or may not be unless clinically examined nothing can be said for sure but it has to be ruled out for allergic condition and infection, till then you can try Tab Ibuprofen 200 mg three times in day, better to see the surgeon hope this information helps.
