Lymphoedema and insect bites
All the information I can find about lymphoedema says to avoid insect bites, which is good advice - until you have been bitten. I don't have lymphoedema but had 4 lymph nodes removed with my surger...
Hi ladies, on the insect bite subject, I got a number of bites on my arms, stomach, back and neck just over two weeks ago. Had my first chemo 12 days ago and the bites got worse (redder, more swollen and itchy) afterwards and are not going away. I already take phenergan everyday so may be worse if I didn't. Anyone else had this issue? Lucky for me no lymphoedema of my surgery arm but feel for you ladies that do.
