A question for anyone who knows about CHF & its edema?

Very recently , my left leg - suddenly, without any provocation from me, turned dry, whitish, flaky. skin had been normal before that. No infection or trauma. Now flaky bits of skin falling off, & a red, tender skin beneath, but also
now oozing or drizzling clear water most of the day. Does this happen to all CHF victims? what can prevent it or cure it? Is the victim doomed to have a wet leg forever? I wonder how common this is in those with CHF & edema. I take diurectics, ACE-inhibitors, beta-blockers, etc. but this is so painful, humiliating, water drizzling out of skin at a low level, here & there , skin being white, dry & flaky. And so sudden, too. anyone with this experience with self or a relative please reply. I practice severe fluid restriction. Any medical info appreciated

you need to keep those legs elevated

Yes CHF does cause skin"Seeping" you need to see your Dr. right away. The seeping associated with pain should be a cause for concern. Please do not delay go to the nearest E.R. and get medical attention.
