Hello, I had my dressings removed yesterday following my recent surgery to remove grade 2 IDC and 2 lymph nodes. I previously had surgery on the otherside for similar, but it was in 2021 and I can't remember the advice I was given about how to prevent the rubbing under my arm. The armpit scar has healed and they have advised me to rub vasaline onto it - but the rubbing on clothes and against my arm is painful. I seem to remember placing something over the scar last time, but can't remember what it was!! 

Any suggestions?? Xx
