I’m 3 weeks post surgery and having healing problems underarm. Chabging dressings every 3/4 hours and clothing getting wet constantly. Not bleeding just fluid.
saw the Brest nurse last week but they didn’t warn me about this. Anyone else had a similar problem?
TIA
Hi Staffie
Sorry to hear that you are having healing problems underarm. I had that problem last year when I got an infection and my breast care nurse put a pico dressing on which absorbed the liquid. I suggest that you contact your beast care nurse and tell them about your problem and they should be able to sort it for you.
Best wishes
