Hi all
Not sure where to post this .When washing kev last week i noticed his leg was really hot and red .I called the doctor and he has cellulitis.The good news is he was put on a course of penicillin and things are much better .

My right tigh is often really hot. It's not red or anything but it does get very hot. I never really thought too much of it. Is it something I should see a doctor about or is it normal?

Hi Blackcherry
To be honest i am not sure .Kev's leg was really red as well as hot . If you are concerned there is no harm in getting yourself checked .best wishes

Hi Miss Piggy,
Im so glad you found this as soon as you did and saw your doctor. Im glad to hear your husband is doing well. I got a scrap on my hip from my showerchair and didn't know it was there and I got cellulitis and end up in the hospital. The scrap was so small it was hard to even see it. So glad you went to the doctor and got the medication when you did. Hope for a speedy recovery.

One of my legs gets warm at times as well, in particular spots. I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis however so doc thinks that could be the cause as it's only sporadic. Worth asking your doc about though, you just never know!!! Don't rely entirely on the forum to diagnose your medical ailments please!!
