Lymphedema

Supplements studied for lymphedema.

Overview

It is unclear whether Selenium helps lymphedema complications. One small study suggests that selenium might reduce the chances of erysipelas, a bacterial skin infection, in people with lymphedema after breast cancer surgery, but more research is needed.

Evidence remains limited to this single low-rated trial. The evidence review below provides available data.
