SKIN CARE ADVISE FOR PATIENTS WITH LYMPHOEDEMA.

1. Keep the skin supple using a non-perfumed moisturising cream such as sorbolene.
2. Avoid drying out your skin and consider using a soap-free alternative.
3. Clean any scratches, grazes or cuts immediately using an antiseptic solution,
use an antibacterial cream and cover the area with a clean, dry plaster.
4.Use an electric razor for shaving instead of a wet razor.
5.Avoid tattoos and body piercing.
6. Consider ways to protect the skin, such as wearing gloves while washing dishes,
gardening or handling pets.
