👉 Rising fluid, often observed as pitting or bulging in the skin, typically indicates an underlying issue with blood circulation. This condition arises when fluid accumulates in small spaces between the skin's layers, usually due to impaired venous return or increased capillary permeability. Several factors can contribute to this, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), heart failure, liver disease, or even prolonged standing or sitting. The fluid buildup can result from increased pressure in the veins, which prevents blood from flowing back to the heart efficiently. As a result, fluid leaks into the interstitial space, causing the skin to swell and become tender, often accompanied by redness and warmth.
