is this how it starts?

Dear all,
I am 9 days post surgery, and i am quite informed about the lymphedema risk. Now the second morning in a row I am noticing something that looks like the onset of a rash on my forearm on the affected side (really mild forming of what looks like small bumps under the skin). It’s only on the forearm inside. I was wondering if it might have to do with the lymph system, but I had only read about swellings. Has anyone had the same experience?

Another question: What happens if you get a pimple? (perfect timing, got one on my upper arm just now) Just leave it and wait if it goes away without being scratched open accidently?

Thank you very much…

Hello Sopuli

Whilst waiting for replies I thought you might like to have a look at our publication on ‘Reducing the Risk of Lymphoedema’ here is a link to it www2.breastcancercare.org.uk/publications/treatment-side-effects/reducing-risk-lymphoedema-bcc15
