10. Skin Infections

It is common for a skin infection to develop during the third stage of lymphedema. The skin projections and blisters may leak fluid, which can easily cause an infection. Because of all the excessive fluids trapped in the body, the heaviness of the limb, which was the first sign of lymphedema, is practically unbearable at this point. Continue to visit your doctor to monitor and treat the symptoms. Reducing the risk of infection is one of the main goals in controlling lymphedema.
