[…] Compression stockings: Medical grade graduated compression stockings are tightest at the ankle. The level of tightness decreases as they go up the leg. Thereby, pushing the fluid in the legs upward against gravity. We recommend wearing compression stockings during the day time. We especially recommend compression stockings for periods of prolonged standing, sitting or travel. Compression stockings are not needed at night while sleeping. At night, the feet are elevated to heart level. […] Topical skin treatments: Applying moisturizers to the skin keeps the skin from becoming dry.
