Question:
Anyone know why elderly people get RED SKIN on their legs?
my husbands grandma showed us her legs today and from the calf down to her ankles, they are red and tender, and pretty blotchy
shes waiting for a specialist appointment, she also has diabetes, has this got anything to do with it,
does anyone have any idea what it is and why?, thanks
shes 82
Answers:
older people can have circulation problems and broken capilleries that can cause redness but the fact that she has diabetes is probably the main reason for this, also mainly on the legs if she is inactive and not moving around a lot.
