Best Answer

In Lymphoedema, the lymph channels become blocked, possibly due to a tumour, or because surgery, burns or radiotherapy has caused damage. This means the lymph fluid cannot pass along the lymph vessel. Excess tissue fluid builds up and is unable to drain away through the lymph vessels as it normally would. This causes fluid to leak out from your skin.
