My 89 year-old mother has been retaining fluid. Her legs are very swollen. Her doctor has increased her diuretic medication. However, she has developed large angry-looking blue/black splotches on her legs that may be blood leaking into her leg tissue. Most unusual is that clear fluid is seeping through her left-leg tissue and pooling in her sock. Do we need to be concerned about infection?
