Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system is a network of delicate tubes throughout the body. It drains fluid (called lymph) that has leaked from the blood vessels into the tissues and empties it back into the bloodstream via the lymph nodes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphorrhea: what’s going on? Lymphorrhea is when lymph leaks from the surface of the skin, usually manifesting as a beading or trickling of fluid. Insect bites, abrasions, cuts, wounds, cracks-no matter how small, any break in the skin has the potential to allow lymph to weep through.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does it occur? Disruption to the skin surface such as Insect bites, abrasions, cuts, wounds, or cracks in the skin can enable the lymph fluid to seep out. Other times it can be when the limb is very swollen and tight and there are no other options but to leak out via the skin.
