What Causes Redness And Itching Sensation On Leg After Using Leg Braces?
My patient is wearing a leather brace (Arizona Brace) but always wears a sock and still complains of a redness on leg where the brace was. States the redness is itchy. I suspect heat but she thinks a reaction to the tanning agents in the leather. I pointed out the leather is not in contact with her skin due to the thick sock. Any thoughts?
