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
