I did have in the beginning the more you scratch the more itchy they get ha ha but after I started using the cream daily and compression stockings it stopped, I think it's one of the Lymphodema symptoms.

Hi Liz, Bev gives great advice - moisturise daily, and keep that swelling down (compression, self massage, professional MLD, exercise, elevation ....). And if there is redness/heat, make sure you check with your doctor (avoid/treat infections).

Hi Bijingo, I'm new to this myself only diagnosed in Aug, my first app at the Lymphodema clinic.
