If you are suffering from Lymphedema, you should avoid walking barefoot at all costs. You might have no lymph nodes under your arms, which can be because of the blood taken from the body during a lymph node surgery. It is your responsibility to avoid the formation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm.  You should also avoid skin infections, burns, and injuries because our body reacts to such problems by sending and producing more white blood cells for that particular area. When you have fewer lymph nodes or vessels in a specific place, it is difficult for your body to remove the extra fluid. These things can worsen your Lymphedema.
