Underarm incision post BA infected? (photo)

Thanks for your question. Your incision does not looked infected. The scar looks immature and slightly raised. It should soften with time and flatten. Arm pit scars are slower to heal and remodel than scars in other areas of the body. It's not unusually for a scar to remain red and raised during the early scar remodeling process. Try to be patient. Scar massage is fine. Good luck!

Thanks for this question. Only your plastic surgeon can make the determination about whether there is an infection or not at this point. You should keep the area dry and make an appointment with your surgeon for a wound check up. Best, Dr. ALDO :)
