Suggest Treatment For Fractured Upper Arm
Hi. I have a fracture upper arm and am in a sling most of the day. I can shower and just this past week can actually fit a soapy hand under my arm with minimal pain. I rinse with a moveable shower head and then dry the area using a microsuede washcloth. But beginning yesterday, my armpit really stinks. Even washing it again this morning, the odor lingers. Is this a yeast infection? What do you suggest?

Hi,
So far as armpit odor is concerned, it seems to be perspiration related issue, rather than yeast infection. Bathing with lavender oil and wearing clean, cotton clothes will help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
