One user horrified his followers with a photo of his foot taken after he took off his sock.
The photo shows that where the elastic of the sock was, there were deep marks, the ankle looked unnaturally small, and the foot was large.
Many commentators advised the man not to delay visiting a doctor.
Some of them suggested that the condition could be due to fluid retention. There were also suggestions that the man had kidney and heart problems.
See a doctor immediately, it’s the kidneys or the heart, commentators noted.
One user, who identified himself as a medical professional, said that the cause could be tight socks or too much salt in food. He also advised to undergo a medical examination in any case.
The man was advised not to wear socks that were too tight, to review his diet and to visit a doctor to rule out health problems.
