1. When ever you have problem that involves the extremities always see a doc because you don't want to risk loosing a limb. Chances are it is absolutely nothing important but it is better to feel a little foolish if you're told it's inconsequential than taking the chance that it could put you at risk for limb loss.
2. It seems you had a cellulitis, an infection and inflammation of tissues under the skin. Your skin did peel because of the stretching caused by the inflammation which become loose after it has been treated or healed.
3. Swollen ankles, calf, feet and legs, referred to medically as edema, occur when fluid is retained in the spaces between body cells. While edema typically affects the feet, ankles and lower legs, it can also impact any area of the body, causing systemic symptoms. Causes: Edema can be caused by a serious condition of the kidney, heart, liver or blood vessels, but many other factors can contribute to its onset, including: Eating a poor diet high in salt and carbohydrates Abusing laxatives Abusing diuretics Abusing drugs Taking birth control or hormone replacement therapy pills Pregnancy and PMS Sodium retention Varicose veins and history of phlebitis Allergic reactions Neuromuscular disorders Trauma Symptoms: Initially, the feet, ankles and legs will appear swollen as the day progresses, but after a period of time, the swelling will set in first thing in the morning and continue to worsen throughout the day. Long-term edema causes pitting: When you press on the swollen area for a few seconds, you will notice an indentation in that area. Continued swelling can cause skin ulcerations. Over time, other symptoms will develop: High blood pressure Headaches Increased urination Palpitations Swollen hands and/or wrists Puffy eyes Weight gain Relief and Prevention: The hallmark of treatment is to reduce foot, leg and ankle swelling, and the first line of defense: leg elevation. Elevate legs above the level of the heart, which puts minimal pressure on the backs of the knees and thighs and lower back. Just sitting in a reclining chair in front of the TV is a great way to elevate your legs. Many products, for use at home or at work, can also help reduce swelling. Other aids include: Leg wedges to elevate the feet while sleeping. Support socks and stocking, either over-the-counter or customer-made. Support socks and stockings come in various gradients depending on the pressure needed, and various lengths depending on the level of the edema. Proper fitting shoes and socks. Go out to buy new shoes in the afternoon to get the best fit. Techniques to help decrease swelling: Increase muscle activity with walking. Avoid standing in place for long period of time. Avoid sitting with the feet dependent. Limit salt intake. Do not abuse diuretics, but a short-term course may be helpful. Do not abuse laxatives. Drink plenty of water. Avoid contraceptive pills and hormone replacement therapy if possible. Use a compressions pump to help fluid return to the blood vessels. If the edema persists or continues to worsen, please consult your physician.
4. It may be gout. If you have swelling and extreme tenderness on both sides. Gout happens when the body has too much salt and not enough water to flush it all out, but don't trust any knucklehead answers you get here...check with a doctor.
