What is the best medication to use after surgery for axillary odor?
There is no such thing as "the best medication to use after axillary osmidrosis surgery." Commonly used medications after the procedure include antibiotics, hemostatic agents, analgesics, wound-healing promoters, and topical disinfectants. These should be used according to medical advice based on postoperative recovery. Proper medication use helps reduce the risk of infection and relieve discomfort. If symptoms such as redness, swelling, pus discharge, persistent bleeding, or severe pain occur after surgery, prompt medical attention is recommended.
1. Antibiotics: Available in oral or topical formulations, these are used to prevent and treat postoperative wound infections. They must be taken for the full prescribed course; stopping medication prematurely may lead to recurrent infection. Watch for signs of allergic reactions during treatment.
2. Hemostatic agents: Oral or injectable hemostatic drugs may be used shortly after surgery to control wound bleeding and reduce hematoma formation. These are typically discontinued once the bleeding risk decreases and should not be used long-term.

3. Analgesics: Oral pain relievers can be used to manage postoperative wound pain and alleviate discomfort. Medication should be strictly taken according to the prescribed dosage to avoid adverse effects from overdose.
4. Wound-healing promoters: Topical formulations such as growth factor preparations or ointments help accelerate tissue repair and reduce the risk of scar hypertrophy. These should be applied properly only after the wound has been cleaned.
5. Topical disinfectants: Commonly used agents include iodophor and alcohol, which are used for daily disinfection of the surgical wound and surrounding skin. They kill surface bacteria and help keep the wound clean and dry, creating a favorable environment for healing.
After surgery, keep the wound area clean and dry, avoid contact with water and strenuous physical activity, wear loose, breathable cotton clothing to minimize friction, maintain a light diet avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and follow medical instructions for regular dressing changes and wound monitoring.
