My Mom is 55 yrs old, she has developed a swelling on her foot from past few months, she has difficulty in walking, also the swelling leads to the formation of pit like structure when pressed on. Also the skin has become so thin that even if we try to massage the skin tears up n there's a wound created there, the wound never heals can u lmk is it edema? If yes which doctor should we consult? Physician or any specialist
