After washing the underarm, was instructed to rub in alcohol and put neospirin to avoid infection. Concerned about the fluid leakage under the arm.
Answer: Under the arms after MiraDry. Hi and thanks for this question. I believe that you're leaking the numbing solution that is used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. This should stop completely by the next morning if not later today. Burning sensations, swelling, tightness and discomfort are all normal for a time period after MiraDry. If you continue to become concerned please call you physician. See the links below for additional information on MiraDry. Best wishes always, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Recovery from miraDry Always follow the instruction from the clinic where you had your treatment. Fluid draining from the area can be normal, along with the burning sensation. Ice as much as possible and follow up with the clinic just to be sure they don't have more post care instruction. Neosporin and alcohol are not in our practice's protocol but they may have a reason for telling you to do so.
