Suggest Medication For Venous Statsis Blisters

My father has what I believe to be venous stasis blisters. His legs swell extremely large and I have to massage his legs so that he can sleep at night. We have gone to several doctors but nothing has been. I am scared about him loosing his legs what kind of specialist do I need to get him to?

Rule out diabetes, if diabetes is there, consult diabetec foot specialist.
Other wise consult vascular surgeon.
Ok and take care.
