What Do Itchy Rashes On The Body Indicate?
I have developed what looks like a rash on my legs. They are swollen and have started to leak water. I itch all over. But especially on my legs all below the knees. I’m 60 and take no meds. I weigh about 220 and stand 6 feet tall. iWork and stand on my feet about 10-12 hours a day

Hello,
Severe edema (swelling of the feet), can result in leakage of fluid. Itching can cause an inflammatory response which can result in swelling.
Other causes of swelling of the feet include heart, kidney, or liver disease. Since the cause of itching or rash is not clear, so, it should be seen by a physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
