I have a question…. I have clear fluid leaking from my leg …. I had this a few months back … went to the ER and they sent me home …. Is this normal ? I have had Lymphedema since 2013….I’ve had cellulitis a few times …. My first question is … should I wrap my leg also should I go to the ER again?

Thank you in advance…

The fluid is called lymphorrhea. Get checked out to make sure there is no infection (cellulitis).If there is no infection, you can wrap the leg, putting an absorbent dressing (with no adhesive edging) over the leak - change the dressing every few hours.
