I'd advise a visit to GP or Lymphodema clinic for advice/re-assurance, I hope it's nothing serious and easily resolved for you, good luck x

Sounds like it could be a skin infection or irritation? Hope you get a satisfactory response from GP!

I have the same thing. Looking forward to your physicians diagnosis. It never ends. As we get older, it gets worse, of course. Important to be vigilant with our disorder so that we can be our optimal best. Everybody is a little different. I have a very large family and 50% have lymphadema. We share any new information. Helping each other.

If you have lymphoedema water tablets won't help as they will have no effect.
