Self-care is a cornerstone of effective lymphoedema management. Daily practices such as skin care, movement, compression and early monitoring help prevent complications, reduce swelling and support long-term health. When people are empowered with knowledge, self-care becomes a powerful tool for maintaining independence and quality of life.

LKN plays a vital role in strengthening self-care for lymphoedema by sharing practical, evidence-based knowledge and lived experience. Through education, collaboration and community engagement, we support individuals and communities to apply effective self-care strategies and improve long-term health outcomes.

LKN Foundation provides free resources in lymphoedema management to everyone who needs them. Quality information on our Enhanced Self-Care program has changed lives.

Together, we can move beyond awareness. By supporting our fundraising campaigns, you help bring practical lymphoedema self-care education to communities that need it most—creating lasting, community-led impact.

July 8 is World Skin Health Day, and skin health is vital to effective lymphoedema management.

If you have lymphoedema
1: Inspect your skin carefully every day
2: Clean and cover any wounds, even very small ones
3: Check between your toes for fungal infections and treat with antifungal creams
4: Wash and thoroughly dry any skin folds
5: Moisturise daily
6: Avoid sunburn or other skin injuries
7: Wear long sleeves and gloves, or long pants and closed shoes when gardening

Looking after your skin can prevent cellulitis and slow lymphoedema progression.
