What Causes Redness And Itching In The Legs After Walking?

when I go outside for walks, usually in about 10 to 15 minutes of walking my legs and butt get really hot to the touch and my skin gets red and itches so bad I can hardly stand it. I sit for about 5 to 10 minutes and it goes away. It makes it almost impossible to want to do any kind of regular outside walking

Hello,

This is called intermittent claudication. Kindly get your leg Doppler done to know if there is any block in arteries or veins. If so, then treatment can be planned accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Archana
