What Skin Condition Can Cause Recurrent Edema In The Feet And Ankles?
I have a severe recurring case of edma in my fet and ankles. I have seen several dermatologists who all say it is vascular and send me to vascular surgeons who do tests and say I do not have a vascular problem. I recently heard about a skin condition where the fibers between the skin layers may cause symptoms like mine. Do you know what that is called?
