I'm having some swelling and pitting in my left lower limbs, and it's been really bothering me. I've already done a sugar test, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. The venous scan suggested it might be cellulitis or edema. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what steps I should take now?

The swelling and pitting edema in your left lower limb, with scanning results suggesting cellulitis or edema, may indicate a vascular or infectious issue; consult primary care physician for further evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics, compression therapy, and elevation.
