4. Leg Ulcers

In extreme conditions, your legs can develop ulcers. These rash-like ulcers usually appear as patchy, sore spots and often develop by your knees and ankles. If the inflamed skin doesn't go away, proper circulation may reduce the swelling. Lifting your legs above your heart level can promote better blood flow. Make sure you talk to your doctor if the swelling persists.
