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...
It's possible to test if they are spider bites (blood test) but apparently only in the first day orvso. I got some similar sounding bites on my neck, they took some time to go away but no apparent side effects (they were on my lymphoedemic side).
