as he is an elderly man and on chronic treatment with steroids and immunosuppressants like azoron he has chances of developing skin infecti0ns u dint mention about any patches or scaly lesions over face.kindly try to look for these if such lesions are noted we need search for the cause .skin atrophy is commonly seen in patients with chronic steroid abuse.inflammation and edema of the feet can be due to fluid retaining effect of steroids . dytor helps in releiving the edema of feet by excreting the excess fluid from the body but not the inflammation. thank u
