What is nonpitting edema?
Nonpitting edema is a type of swelling observed in medical conditions like lymphedema or myxedema, where pressure applied to the swollen area does not leave a temporary indentation. This form of edema is typically seen in more chronic conditions and may be more challenging to manage compared to pitting edema. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying condition causing the edema and may include strategies like compression therapy or medications.
