Symptoms of Oedema
Oedema may be visible as an obvious puffiness of the face, the ankles or the small of the back. Oedema can often be demonstrated by pressing firmly on the skin with a finger. If oedema is present, a hollow may be left that will take some time to disappear. This is called pitting oedema.
