Lymphedema: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments

Burning or Itching Sensation

Burning or itching sensation in legs or toes might also indicate lymphedema. This is caused when the condition affects your immune system and leads to inflammation. Some common triggers might include scratches or insect bites. Make sure to see a doctor immediately as soon as you notice these symptoms. He or she would treat this infection with some prescription antibiotics. If you delay treating the infection, it would become life-threatening quickly. [4]
