What Causes Rash On Thighs, Arms, Hands And Ankles After Knee Replacement?

I have a rash on my bottom and thighs and now it is starting on my arms, hands and ankles. I had knee replacement in 2000 and the rash started on my bottom and thighs in approx. 2000 getting worse over the years. Could the rash have anything to do with the knee replacement?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It may be a skin disease in the form of allergy. It may be due to some drugs or food. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I is not likely due to knee replacement.

Hope this helps.
