I scraped my legs pretty bad a couple of days ago, and now my left foot is really swollen. What could it be?

    You could have an infection in the tissues or cellulitis. If it is red and warm- go to the doctor or clinic or ER now. If it is just swollen, put it on a pillow, above the level of your heart and see if the swelling goes down. If no success, make an appointment to see your doctor.

    Go to the ER please...you might have a bad infection. If you have a temperature, and there are red lines down your leg to your foot, then it's a pretty good indictation of infection.
