A member asked:

I have edema perpetually leaking from my right leg from my knee to my foot all the way around . compression has helped healed my left leg but the right is worst then ever. what kind of medication or creams could help me? also the area is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plain and simple ….at your age this should not be happening. You gave many health issues and the leakage is your least concern. Please see your Family doctor and get the swelling under control. As an older adult these conditions can become serious concern.
