General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It could be a generalised edema. We have to rule out other causes like cellulitis also.
You have to check your protein status also as it will can lead to similar symptoms.
Consult a general surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
