What Do Red Rashes On The Calves Indicate?
I have lipedema is my legs and normally do not have any problems. Monday morning I noticed a red dots like a rash on my calves. I was in a pool yesterday and thought possible it was from the sun. I wear capris pants with my bathing suit and the rash in on the lower part of both legs. After dinner last evening, the back of my calves were hurting, by bedtine it was worse and even more so now. It is painful to touch the back of my calves and the are throbbing. Left is worse than right. No swelling, but they red and itchy. I weight about 300, down from 470 with a gastric sleeve 3.5 years ago. On lose dose bp meds. I am 57

Hello,
* As per the narration, the rashes on the calves indicate possible eruptions from the pants lining compression.
* I would recommend to use local soothing agent as Neosporin powder, avoid tight clothing around the calves and regular follow up with your doctors for best results.
