Suggest Treatment For Pus Filled Sores On The Legs
My legs have developed sores and are seeping liquid ... like a lightly slimy water.... and leak all day long for the past 3 weeks. I have a pace maker and it is not uncommon for me to retain water, but I am seriously retaining and it seems the water has found a way to come out of my body. I do take 40 mg lasix daily, it does not seem to be helping. I just moved to a new town and am waiting to get an appointment with a PCP... and I am curious if I need to go to the ER over my leaking legs or if there is something I should try at home first and wait the 2 weeks till my PCP appointment. Thank You!

Hello,
The leaking legs with water-filled sores have nothing to do with swollen legs and Lasix usage. I think you should visit a doctor as soon as possible.
There is a possibility of you having a skin infection. You can upload a photo of the legs in reports for me to see the conditions of them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
