Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Itching Sensation And Red Bumps On Shin Area?
53 yr old male. Have recently developed ( approx. 1 month) significant itching limited only to both shins. There are minor red bumps in these areas. The itchiness is very intermittent, though when it arises it remains significant for a short period of time. This is definately not a poison oak or ivy event. Would this be eczema ? If so, is this treatable/ curable with over the counter Rx ?Thank you
Hi Dear!!Thanks for your query to HCM. Read your query and understood your health concern.I feel concerned about your health issues. Based on facts of you query, you seem to suffer from- Venus Eczema caused from Incompetent leg veins ? related mostly to Short Saphenous veins. Its not curable to OTC medicines and needs EVLT treatment of incompetent veins, to cure it.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors there.
Welcome for further query in this regard if any. Good Day!!
