The nicks aren't a problem when they are immediate: it's when the shave is done in advance that they have a chance to brew. I have had people use dipilatories in certain situations, though: like keeping the area around a pilonidal wound clean, or women who have bothersome numbness under their arm after a node dissection...Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-81476537532520438182007-05-17T07:13:00.000-07:002007-05-17T07:13:00.000-07:00Question: if the nicks and such become a problem w...Question: if the nicks and such become a problem why isn't a "Nair" (Sodium Hydorxide) type solution used to clear out the exact area of interest?

Too funny - Thanks for the laugh! :) Did you laugh? Did they? Bet the aide was holding his/her breath. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Scalpel - the same thing happened in our ER. A well intentioned aide did a partial shave of an eyebrow and the ER doc went ballistic on her.<BR/><BR/>So if you do decide to shave how far do you shave if someone is going to have a vertical ABD incision?<BR/><BR/>I was really bummed a few posts back when you had written about veterans. My husband was a Vietnam vet and I had written you a long comment and I was just about to publish it when my computer suddenly ended the session. I elected to restore everything but my comment was lost.

The patient requested a plastic surgeon to suture his wound, and the doc totally freaked when he saw that.<BR/><BR/>The shaved eyebrow was far more cosmetically disturbing than the laceration repair itself.
