Itchy sores on ankles - cream?

[oldfart101]

Had an anterior STEMI 13 years ago. EF is 41%. drugs = omeprazol, edistride, bisoprolol, entresto, elecor, adiro,simvastatin. I have sores on my ankles. Not looking for a diagnosis, is there a cream that can lessen the effects??

Dear you,

You need to get this investigated and as you said no one can give you a diagnoses on here, but I am sure that there is help for you from your own GP

Sores etc need looking into before they get any worse.

Good luck

It is important to this get this checked by GP.Dry skin can be treated but when it gets to the stage of sores you should have medical intervention. I have been down this road and there was a suggestion of cellulitis . You may also be heading towards ulcers which is to be avoided at all costs.I urge you to see GP asap. I speak from a patients perspective not that of a medic.

Yes, you need it checked out. After my bypass I developed vascular eczema and the sores got quite bad and blistery. The Prescrbed Fucibet cream has made it substantially better.

Personally, I would use l'occitane shea butter, it's not cheap, but it's incredible stuff.
