What Causes Swelling In Feet And Brown Color In Calves?
My grandmother is 80 years old and she used to have alot of swelling in her feet which she now takes medication for, which is helping alot. Now the problem is her calves on her legs are turning brown but the rest is normal. Can you please tell me what may be causing this?

Hello,
The brown color could be indicative of chronic changes in her skin, due to prolonged swelling. There is no need to panic. It is just a normal reaction to chronic leg swelling.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
