What Could Be The Red Blotchy Rashes On Top Of My Feet And Leading Upwards To The Shins And Suffering From Pain In Bones And Broken Fibula?
I have been having a red blochy under the skin type rash beginning on top of my feet and leading upwards to my shins for the past three weeks or so. What could be the cause of this if I have not altered anything in my enviroment, havent changed hygeine products or eatten anything differet than before? I have been experiencing a multitude of problems with my legs and feet as well as all my bones in general..including a broken fibula in march of last year.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A red blochy rash on top of feet does not seem to be related to the fibula fracture a year back.
Is the rash associated with pain, itching or oozing of any kind of fluid?
If yes then this could be due to primary skin lesion.
If not, then other other possibilities need to be considered.
Vascular problems can also cause rashes on the skin.
Vascular problems are concerned with blood vessels- inflammation, infection etc of the blood vessels can cause such symptoms.
You need to consult your doctor preferably surgeon for clinical examination, relevant investigations and management.
If the symptoms pertaining to skin are present then you need to consult a dermatologist.
Thanks and take care
