3. Puffiness of the Skin

Stage one of lymphedema is characterized by a puffy appearance on the farthest part of the limb. For example, if the lymph vessels are blocked in your leg then your foot will look puffy. Likewise, if the flow is impaired in your arm, your hand might get puffier than usual. This is the first sign of swelling you may notice associated with lymphedema.
