Your heart pushes water and nutrients out to the extremities and then the lymph system returns excess water and waste so that the liver and kidneys can filter it while making the cycle again. When circulation is poor or the heart is weak or other complications, the body has a hard time returning some of that fluid back into circulation to where the body can get rid of it naturally. This is the result. It can just sit there leading to skin breakdown, or even infection.
