Brief Answer:
I certainly think it would be in your best interest to revisit your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am always here to help. I am guessing you meant you had leg edema (when you mistyped lefademia?) and MRSA; if this is the case and your leg has now broken skin which is causing the expulsion of fluids from your leg then I would most certainly recommend a visit to your doctor.

This makes your leg susceptible to infections, and can result in much more serious complications that just simple edema and swelling. Please do consider a revisit as I would not advise it unless it was totally necessary considering your financial status now.

Please also do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
