Yes, AVOID that iron....not good for men or postmenopausal
females. It can build up in the body.

When little capillaries swell and break that way it can also
be due to poor cell wall integrity in the blood vessels.
These are maintained by essential fatty acids, anti-oxidants,
and Vit C.

Also poor lymphatic drainage, or thick serum from MGUS type problems can cause it.

Swelling in the legs also can signal low B1 (thiamine status).
So Benfotiamine may be an idea for you.
Beri-Beri is not identified in US commonly, but it lurks here anyway.
