Hello,
Thanks for the query.
These rashes can be a fungal infection,
It is called as tinea corporis.
fungal infections become common at this age.
You need treatment with anti fungals.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Swelling in legs is unrelated to this.
Get your cardiac check up done.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
