A member asked:
I am 19 female. and since highschool i've been having episodes of my feet swelling up and being bright red and hot. its not constant. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer : In general, leg and feet swelling often related to excessive salt intake and being on one's feet for a long time. Certain medications, such as hormones like estrogen and steroids, as well as drug abuse can also cause this condition. Other causes include heart, kidney, and liver disease; lymphatic obstruction; venous problems; and infections all of which are unlikely in an otherwise healthy 19 y/o.
