See Doc: Your symptoms are worrisome. Get your kidney function and heart checked out. Are you short of breath? Lasix (furosemide) is not always wise to use just to remove fluid. Your doctor must find out what is causing the edema. Sometimes medicines can cause your symptoms. The rash could be many things including autoimmune diseases that can affect your kidneys. See doctor ASAP to check kidneys, heart, etc

See doctor: Severe edema as you described is not normal. It is unclear from your message if this is a new problem or a chronic condition and recently worse. Either way, this needs to be evaluated with your doctor to review all of your symptoms and medications.
