What Causes Edema In The Legs With A Large Blister Around The Ankle?
I have a very large blister around my ankle. I came home from Vail CO yesterday. I had edema in my lower legs until today. We live in San Francisco area. No pain or redness. Have soaked foot in warm water 3 times. Has remained the same looking large typical blister. Suggestions for treatment?

Hello,
Apply any antiseptic lotion on it. Betadine is fine. Keep foot raised on a table. Do not massage or heat the feet. Blister need daily dressing with ointment as mupirocin etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
