Why Should I Moisturise My Arm After Breast Cancer?

If you have been diagnosed and treated for Breast Cancer, chances are you have had one or multiple Lymph Nodes removed from your armpit (axilla). If this is your situation, then this video is for you. One of the most common 'jobs' that a Breast Cancer Medical or Allied Health Professional (e.g. Lymphoedema Therapists, Breast Care Nurses) will give patients who have had Lymph Nodes removed is to Moisturise their arm. But why? There are SO many things you have to DO as a Breast Cancer patient, and so many APPOINTMENTS to attend and SCANS to be done that one more job even as small as putting some moisturiser on your arm starts to seem overwhelming. However, it is this very reason that I LOVE making these Educational Videos, because I strongly believe that if people know WHY they should be doing something good for their health and wellbeing, they are a lot more likely to comply with doing that activity. Empower yourself through education. SO! What is the big deal with moisturising your arm after Lymph Node Removal? In this video I go into detail about the relationship between the Lymphatic System and the Immune System to explain that when Lymph Nodes are removed from your armpit, your immunity on the SKIN of that arm is forever compromised. What does this mean? That you're at a higher risk of infection compared to someone with intact lymph nodes in their armpit. So what? This ultimately means that if you suffer from any form of skin breakdown (e.g. graze, cut, insect bite, burn) that you are at higher risk of contracting a broad skin infection known as Cellulitis. I explain how Cellulitis can occur, how it presents, what to do about it, and how it can be a trigger for Lymphoedema. I also explain why it is so important to know WHAT TO DO if you suspect a local skin infection that can put you at risk of Cellulitis and therefore Lymphoedema. I also provide my recommendations on which moisturising creams to use - please make sure you do not have any allergies to creams prior to use and if you're unsure please check with your treating Medical Team and / or GP. I also provide tips on what time of day is best to apply moisturiser if you have existing lymphoedema and need to wear a compression garment.
