Hello. My mum finished radiotherapy earlier this year and we’re wondering how long she has to wait before she can shave under her arm. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks xx
@LKdaughter - welcome to the forum, I hope someone will be able to answer your query for your Mum.
As it’s a medical question you might want to call or message the lovely nurses for advice - number is at the top of the page, or you can message on the nurse’s board. Or you might call your Mum’s breast care nurse at the hospital for advice.
Personally I don’t remember being told not to shave after radiotherapy - but as I had a node clearance I was told to use an electric razor rather than a wet razor in order to minimise any risk of cuts/infection.
I hope maybe someone else will be along with some more advice for you. All the very best to your Mum for her recovery. Evie xx
