Feet And Legs Cramps, Swelling, Redness, Peeling. Done Biopsy. Why Is There Tenderness?
I have a problem that no one seems to know what it is. And it isn't an emergency but it may be. For about 2 months I have been sleeping on my couch due to cramps in my feet and legs. Well, my feet started swelling,and my right leg started getting red. Now it is scally and still red and the skin is peeling. I am a diabetic and they did take a biopsy but they said that nothing is wrong. But there has to be because I just don't know why it is red and scally and still swelling.And it hurt more today than it has ever hurt and it is so tender to touch.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some vascular insufficiency in the leg giving rise to this problem.
Possibility of having diabetic foot is also to be kept in mind.
Consult Diabetologist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
