Some people don’t realize this…

If you live with lymphedema, something as simple as redness or warmth in your skin could be the start of cellulitis — and it can escalate FAST.

🚨 Early signs to watch for:
• Redness & heat
• Sudden swelling
• Pain or tenderness
• Fever or chills
• Flu-like symptoms

This is why awareness matters.

👉 Have you ever experienced cellulitis with lymphedema?
👉 What were your first signs?

Your story could help someone else recognize it sooner.
