Aftercare for trans-axillary incision? What to expect?

February 12, 2016
Asked By:Sxthree in Orange County, CA

How do you care for the incision after surgery? Keeping it dry, deodorant/no deodorant, shaving, keeping it clean? I will be sure to clarify with my doctor but just wondering how it's going for those who have experienced it personally. Getting kinda worried about no deodorant since its 88 degrees here right now. :/
