how long after node clearance did people wait to shave under their arm? I know it’s not a big deal but it’s driving me mad. The incisions looks fairly healed (surgery two weeks ago) but there is a large lump underneath it still.
Also just to say that you shouldn't use a normal razor after clearance asd there is a risk of cuts and infection. X
Thank you. I’ll order an electric one ready then. X
