Horrible Smell in Armpit After Breast Augmentation - Is That Normal?

October 26, 2010
Asked By:honoluolu in honoluolu, Hawaii

I had saline implants just a week ago and they were put in through my armpit. Well I gently wash my armpits with Dail antibacterial soap and there is still a nasty smell. I do not have any infections just they smell. I cant use deorderant right now but I figured the smell should go away when washed but it doesnt.
