Hi everyone, I have just had a WLE and sentinal node removal for biopsy. How does anyone out there wash their affected armpit? Is it ok to wash with soap 5 days after surgery?
Hi jonazza,
I was advised to use Simple Soap which I did throughout all of my treatment,although any wound areas were kept dry,If you are worried your bc nurse should be able to advise.
Good Luck and I hope you are feeling well following surgery

Hi jonazza,
When I had my WLE 5 years ago I used unscented wet-wipes for a while, before using pure soap.
Hope you are recovering well.

Hi
I’m glad you asked this as i’m in the same boat has had my op on the 20th may and never thought about asking these type of questions.
I have just used water and very mild soap, for deoderant i didn’t know what to do so rolled some onto my hand and then wiped that on but i don’t think i’m suppose to do that
