My 60 year old mother suffering from intense pain specifically on her above ankle part of left leg (on Tibia I think) from past few years. There is little fungal infection now a days on that part of her skin. As per X ray report done by Govt Ortho specialist, Bone is fine and Doctor advised to consult skin specialist. But when I consulted Govt Dermatologist, he advice me back to consult Ortho only. There is no bone related problem as per xray. 3 year back one local doctor done Cheera on that part of skin and said there is a boil (funsi) inside a skin or some nerve problem. Now I am confused to whom to consult specifically as pain is becoming more and more intense. Dermatologist gave cream for fungal infection only and Ortho specialist gave diclofenac cream for pain.
