has anyone used olivamine skin cream? i was googling lymphedema and found a product that had a really impressive [possibly too good to be true] brochure. the amazon listing of it included a reviewer who said of course she knew it worked because they use it at the wound care clinic she works at. it is indeed sold by medical/hospital supply companies. so i was really surprised a search here turned up no mention of it.
i have very early lymphedema just starting on my belly, so the skin isnt broken or weeping, just disturbingly rippled in texture. it was reddened but is getting less so.
i ordered the cream but havent used it yet. i'm not sure if is helpful on intact skin, but i will probably try it anyway.
anyone use it?
