Sore armpits

I think I’m being totally paranoid … but since having my WLE / SLNB my armpits have been really irritated and sore to the point where I can’t wear deodorant or wash them with my usual shower gel. I think it’s probably all in my head but now I’ve convinced myself it’s in my lymphnodes - or maybe my skins just being super sensitive? My husband thinks I’m crazy and just doesn’t really “get it”. Anyone else feel similar?

When did you have your surgery? It may depend on that. My surgery was almost 2 years ago but when I had my 5th covid vaccine in October I had a lot of pain in my armpits - it did resolve.

for at least 6 months post surgery I didn’t use deodorant only pure no scent moisteriser.

hope it improves for you soon x

It’ll be 4 weeks tomorrow post surgery. Ahh ok so I had my covid and flu vaccines a couple of weeks ago so could be related to that?! My surgery was my leg and my groin so hit my arm lymphnodes. X
