Hello Sandra,
Welcome to healthcare magic.com and thanks for sharing your concern with us.
Such generalized swelling needs to further evaluated thoroughly as diverse conditions like kidney issues , heart problems , liver failure , capillary leak syndrome can produce similar clinical manifestations . Poor oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues is the reason of such purplish color changes . With proper diagnostic tests like kidney function tests , liver function tests , Cardiac function tests the exact cause should be found out so that further treatment could be started.
I wish you good health.
Best Regards,
DR.S.TOMAR
