Have an update on my ankle rash. Saw another Dermatologist at bidmc and she was excellent. The diagnosis is…
“ combination of
stasis dermatitis/venous insufficiency (slowing down the wound
healing process) and contact dermatitis (photos sent in with
bright erythematous plaques) and traumatic lesions (reports
lesions worsened with rubbing and several lesions today at line”.
In English it’s a combination of my neuropathy, insufficient blood flow, rubbing, and maybe an allergic reaction to the ointments.she disagreed with my neurologist opinion that neuropathy has nothing to do with it.
Now using these DuoDerm pads on both ankles. After 2 days looks good. We’ll see after 5-7.
Hip replacement surgery is back on.

@stevemann You beat me to the punch! I was going to post to you and ask how things were going. How great you found a second dermatologist with more experience in your situation. So glad to hear her suggestions are working for you. I bet that is a big relief, right?
Will you come back and report after a few more days on this course of treatment, please?
