Hi,
Thanks for query,
Once filaria occur,there is no treatment,you take care of legs by applying Vaseline etc soothing agents to prevent more roughness and itching.
Go for Hetrazan course empirically.
ok and bye.

In such an advanced case, you probably require surgery. It cannot be managed with medical methods alone. Does your father suffer from any other illnesses like Diabetes, Hypertension. These need to be controlled before he can be taken up for Surgery. Contact the Doctors of reputed Hospitals who will be able to help him.
