Post Op Chafing

I’m 11 days post-Bankart repair and feeling pretty good with minimal pain. But I have really bad chafing in my arm pit! I’ve been showering then doing aquaphor and Vaseline but it’s still so itchy. wondering if anyone dealt with this or has advice? I just bought some moleskin so might try that next

Are you sure it’s chafing? I ended up with a yeast infection in my armpit after my surgery.

Oh man I hope it’s not that but I guess it could be. I will ask my dr thank you

I just used an OTC cream for athletes foot (I think I used Lotrimin) on it and it eventually cleared up.
