What Causes Swelling In Legs After Mohs Surgery On Leg?
In November I had MOHLS surgery to remove a cancer from my right lower leg with complications. The area could not be sutured. I wore a UNA boot until the middle of January with wound care and change of the boot weekly. My lower leg is edematous and 3 X the size of the left. I wear support hose on the leg but it does not help. Will the swelling continue or what should I do?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that you need to keep the leg in elevated position and crab bandage would be much helpful, circulation disturbances may be likely cause, it may take some time to come around, be patience, everything would be fine, hope this information helps, take care. (With proper care swelling will be reduced soon)
