Skin infection
At the end of May I was bitten by a leech. In September skin on my calf started showing edema and infection and liquid is coming. Healing is very slow. Doctors that i showed to think that it is varicose. But there are no symptoms of varicose. One doctor gave me azithromycin and another aerofix antibiotics.
