Rash on skin
My grandmother is now 78 yrs old. She takes medicine for hypertension & cholesterol. She was not taken to her physician since December.
Last two- three weeks she was suffering from swelling of leg. It reduces when she stays on bed.
Now, she suffers from itching through out the body. Rash like spots are slightly visible in whole body but it is worst above right foot. She scrach the rash by fingers to get relief but blood is coming out. Initially, she cleaned scrached places with betadine solution but it is grown like sore. She has applied salicylic acid, benzoic acid and boric ointment on it to get relief. No such improvement is there.
She needs support.

Do not use random medicines in her condition as they may worsen the condition.
If possible take her to see a dermatologist in your area. If it's not possible then get a direct online consultation with pictures for proper treatment
