welcome to healthcaremagic
you should consult surgeon/physician
most probably you are having lymphatic oedema
get yourself checked up and a proper diagnosis is pre requisite for treatment
you should go for thyroid function tests also
you can body lotion like vaseline lotion

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Oedema is seen in a lot of illness, first a diagnosis has to be made , only then a treatment can be suggested.
Please mention your ht, wt and any other present or past illness you may/have had.
Oedema does cause skin changes when it is present for a long time, for which homepathy is very effective, once the condition is properly diagnosed, you can start with homeopathy for the same.
Takecare
