My mother had a small cut on her leg which is already swollen with water retention now the fluid is leaking out of her leg and causes a large wet patch on her bed. She is now on two water tablets (normally one). To me the small cut looks bigger because water comes through the area that was cut (it was only a small nick).
Hello, I feel you need to check your mothers blood pressure, diabetic profile and also the blood profile. In some cases due to diabetes, there will be delayed healing. Also, if one having lower platelet count the clotting factor is not good. Besides, if the wound is infected it will not allow healing to occur soon. Having an examination with a physician will be of great advantage as some reports may need to be done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Jay In Chat Doctor.
