With a need for antimicrobial stewardship, it is important to identify the cause, rather than automatically rely on antibiotic prescription. Importantly, all that is red is not cellulitis; venous or varicose eczema is a common cause of swollen and red legs and requires a different management approach. In this episode, Dr James Waldron is joined by Dr Mark Graham (GP from Nottingham with experience in dermatology) to explore how to invest time initially to achieve the right diagnosis. The discussion considers differential diagnoses, clinical examination and management.
