Red Legs
Man over 80 with history of psoriasis managed by community dermatology with good effect then legs became progressively red and painful as per photos. Systemically well at presentation, no new medications sought help at this point and admitted, inflammatory markers were only slightly raised (CRP, WCC, ferritin). Died during admission. The point for discussion is that he was systemically well and his inflammatory markers were nothing to write home about. I suspect the old adage that everyone has to die of something rang true in this case.
