Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Please provide more information to help you better.
Is it possible for you to upload a few pictures of the lesions.
Have you been tested for diabetes any time?
Fluid retention in the legs usually occurs in conditions of kidney, liver or heart impairments. Do you have any breathing difficulty on exertion or lying down? Is there any problem with passing urine? Do you take any alcohol?
The skin lesion may be a fungal infection. I would like to see a picture if possible.

Do get back with your input.
