Great Products for Lymphedema and Lipedema


Folks with Lymphedema and Lipedema often have issues with their skin and finding products that help rather than irritate the skin can be challenging.  

Below are several products that I recommend to my clients for their skin care.
 Note that if an unscented variety is available, this is always the best option as fragrance tends to irritate tissues.


Skin Care Products for Lymphedema and Lipedema

Ammonium Lactate Lotion

Ammonium lactate is recommended by doctors to help with extreme dryness,
flaking and thickened skin. 
It helps to soften and eventually dissolve these problem areas.

Here is another brand you may like:

Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion,
Fragrance Free (Contains Urea)

Urea is another substance recommended by doctors that, like ammonium lactate, helps to soften and dissolve hardened, flaking, and thickened skin.


Sweet Bee Magic All In One Healing Skin Cream

(Great under compression garments or bandages
and helps with dry, flaky skin)


 

Neem Cream by Theraneem
(Great for healing cuts and scrapes)



Castor Oil – Organic Cold-Pressed

(Great under bandages and compression garments.
Wonderful for softening skin and reducing scar tissue and calluses.
It is very thick and you must give it time to sink into the skin.
Can be used together with Bee Magic.) 

 

 

 
Good for Skin Maintenance when Fungal Infections are Present
 

 

Cleansing Bars/Soaps for Lymphedema and Lipedema

 

 Neem Oil Soap
(Great for Helping with Itching 
Caused by Lymphedema & Lipedema)

 

 


Ditch the Itch Bar
(Also Great for Helping with Itching 
Caused by Lymphedema & Lipedema.
You can use this together with Neem Oil Soap.
Hold both bars together while soaping up in the shower.)
 
 

 

Pain Relief for Lymphedema and Lipedema



Magnesium Gel
(Highly Recommended for Quick Relief
Has a tacky feel after applied)

 


Magnesium Oil Spray
(Also works well, not as fast as the gel.
Needs to soak in so doesn’t stain clothing.)

 



Magnesium Lotion

(Also effective, but slower than gel or oil.
Absorbs like most other lotions.)
