Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
From your history, I strongly feel that you need a physical examination of your lower limbs to rule out any chances of varicose veins, along with spreading cellulitis.Till that I would advise you to keep your feet elevated and avoid standing for prolonged period. Further management would depend on the physical findings and investigations.
Wishing you good luck. Thanks for choosing healthcare magic forum for your doubts on your health.
