Can Baby Powder Reduce Discomfort In The Incisions In The Armpit Post Lumpectomy?
I had a lumpectomy and a lymph node checked about 16 days ago. There is no swelling or redness around my incisions, however, the skin in my armpit is feeling raw and hurts. Can I use a little baby powder in my armpit close to my incisions to make it more comfortable?

Hello there,
First of all, I would suggest u to take the necessary steps to keep the area clean and free from any kind of factors that prevent it from healing like lack of cleanliness, constant movement ,improper diet, infection,etc
Next, Hydrate urself
Coming to ur query, if the incision wounds have got healed well, you can do it. but not for the unhealed one.
