Question : My mother has undergone Lasix treatment for her congestive heart failure. She recently has complained about a liquid seepage from her legs. She takes a prescribed water pill and high blood pressure meds. She feels fine but this slow leakage of a clear fluid from pores in her legs worries her. I told her to wipe her legs with hydrogen peroxide to clean the pores and prevent any infection.
Is this liquid loss normal? She also has a puncture wound from within her skin on her right leg.
Suggestions?
