Underarm stinks
Hi,
I had a shoulder artroscopic labral repair for instability about 3 weeks ago. After the stitch removal when I moved my shoulder for the first time in two weeks, I can feel horrible odour from the underarm. Even after continues bathing from then this is continuing and it is different from the other arm. Kindly suggest what to do.
Thanks

apply fucidin cream in the armpit for a couple of weeks. Due to prolonged immobility the concentration of organisms in the area increases. This leads to increase in the foul odour. Before starting the treatment it will be recommended to get the area examined to make sure there is no other kind of infection present. Hope this is helpful.
