Hi,
Your father appears to be a heart patient ,who is having oedema in his legs because of cardiac issues. Dark colour of his legs might be because of venous congestion which in itself is a cause for swelling and edema. You need to consult a cardiologist for the same.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
