Cosmetics for stretch marks and cellulite
Good morning, what topical remedy can I use for lymphedema of the legs? It's small, but on hot days it gives me more trouble, and besides, I don't want it to increase. I lubricate with Altacet, but somehow I do not see the effects, is this preparation suitable for this type of edema? I have glaucoma, so it must be something safe and it would be good if it was affordable.

The basis for the treatment of lymphedema is compression therapy, i.e. compression (compression) bandaging, the use of special tights and stockings and gymnastics to facilitate the drainage of lymph from the limbs. It is important to take care of the skin in the affected area - proper hygiene and the use of creams / lotions that support skin regeneration. Homemade methods such as cooling the legs, resting with the legs up, using cooling aerosols and lubrication gels can bring relief and improvement of well-being, especially in summer during hot weather. First of all - it is worth going to a vascular surgeon who will assess the severity of the disease and possibly suggest oral treatment. Some medicines (such as amplodipine, some anti-inflammatory drugs) may increase lymphedema. Postoperative conditions - e.g. after surgery to remove cancerous tumors - can also cause persistent swelling.
