Hi Nelva,

I understand your concerns about your arm pit. I had the same
experience last year. It will heal, just be careful and listen to Dr.
Revis' orders. I used a spray Saline wash (WalMart) and peroxide 3x
per day covered with gauze to keep it dry. Try to be careful with
your lifting, etc.. I may have opened mine from the stress of opening
and closing my heavy car door(it was my left armpit), not realizing
the pulling and tugging it was putting on my wound. I hope by now
your starting to notice the improvement, it may take a while, just
keep it clean and dry and I'm confident you'll be just fine. Get in a
see him if you see more redness, etc.. It will drain, you want it to.
What we go through....right? Let me know how your doing. Barb
