Hello

Looking for advice on how to remove underarm hair safely. Had right side mastectomy and all lymph nodes removed. As a result of this i have no feeling & strange sensations under the arm and in the armpit.  I'm afraid to do anything as i had a ingrown hair in the left armpit shortly after my chemo and before radiotherapy resulting in me thinking the worst and really don't want that experience again.

Thank you x 

  • Hi Specky welcome to the forum I would be tempted to leave well alone for a while until things have begun to heal and let the haor grow back naturally. Im not sure about you but I didnt have any underarm hair for a year after my treatment  with Radiotherapy and even yet it is slow growing . 

    Very few beauty salons will give you any treatment for a while after  Cancer treatment and thats because you are susceptible to infection from any cuts . If it was me I would leave well alone for now and go au naturale. 

  • Thank you Gail,that's just what I'll do. Not much there anyway. Natural all the way. Thanks again x
