Purple Glove Syndrome
Purple Glove Syndrome (PGS) is a poorly understood skin disease in which the extremities become swollen, discoloured and painful. PGS is potentially serious, and may require amputation. PGS is most common among elderly patients and those receiving large, multiple intravenous doses of the epilepsy drug phenytoin

Is it possible to get purple glove syndrome in the foot/leg as this looks like what my mum had but Docters could never diagnose it.She now also has lymphedema as a result of this.
