How to Stop Fluid Leaking from Legs (Weeping Legs)

Dressings

Dressings can be done with different materials, especially absorbent granules, hydrofibers, and alginate. These options can improve the capacity of absorbing fluids. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor will suggest a proper option. However, there might be some problems. It can be hard to find large dressings to cover the entire weeping legs. Also, fluid would accumulate quickly and make the dressings become heavy, which causes the body to be susceptible to slippage and even tears skin. Whichever option you select, make sure to have a comfortable fit to prevent discomfort when the maximum capacity of absorbency is reached. [3]
