Should I Apply Ice On The Hematoma?
I have a hematoma on my breast after surgery. My doctor said it has to be more fluid before it can be drained as it is now just gel like substance when he tried to drain it today. He said it should liquifiy on its own and can then be drained. Should I use Ice or heat in the meantime.

Hello
Thanks for the query.
You can apply heat to help liquify the hematoma.
Applying ice can cause further solidification.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thanks.
