My legs have been swollen for the past week. I am a teacher. I woke up this morning with a rash around my ankles, more so on the left leg, and some redness at the ankle. What do I need to do. My feet feel very heavy and slightly tingling. Is it necessary to see a doctor?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor. There are many causes for swollen leg without rashes with tingling. Common causes are1. Varicose veins (common in teachers)2. Early heart diseases3. Early kidney and liver disease4. Hypoproteinemia5. Cellulitis (skin infection)6. Hypothyroidism. So consult doctor and get done clinical examination of legs and blood reports to rule out these diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.
