If you have both I would think it is Cellulitis associated with Lymphedema. This can occur anytime after any surgery involving the lymph nodes ... even if only one node has been removed. You should seek treatment immediately for the cellulitis from your Family Physician and then a consultation with a Physical Therapist who is specially trained in the treatment of Lymphedema. If the swelling is due to only the acute condition (cellulitis) then Lymphedema treatment may not be necessary. You should obtain a list of precautions to prevent a recurrance. Please do not delay ... the longer you wait, the longer the cure will take.   Regards ....
