This odema, get it evaluated
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and your husband has developed edema which is accumulation of fluid in the subcutaneous tissue.
It has multiple causes like kidney disease, heart disease, hypothyroidism or some localised pathology.
I would recommend you to consult a doctor and get him evaluated to find out the cause of this swelling.
