What Causes Soreness In The Right Leg?
My husband s right leg has been giving him problems. He has circulation problems but he has a sore on the leg now he went to a dermatologist yesterday and they took samples of his tissue to see what it is and today it is red and has gotten worse. What is wrong with his leg?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Because of the trauma to the area yesterday from the biopsy, there would be an inflammatory reaction which would cause some worsening.
Sores are either due to poor circulation, infection or may be due to more dangerous skin changes.
With a history of poor circulation, this is the most likely cause for him but the biopsy would give a definitive answer.
I hope this helps
