Suggest A Cure For Itching Around The Legs While On Lasix For Pedal Edema

Explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Based on your description , it could be due to contact dermatitis or urticarial rash. Doubling Lasix (Furosemide) tablets wont be of much benefit in reducing the discomfort with itching.
The legs should be examined. If an infective cause is unlikely, clinically, then local clobetasol with salicylic acid and calamine lotion should be applied. A non sedating antihistamine such as fexofenadine or loratidine can also be advised. Most likely, the symptoms will resolve.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
