When my armpits tore I went right into the doctor. They use this Nitrate stuff in their office that burns your skin back together! It closes you right up. Smells and burns a little but you won't be open which is bad.

Call your doctor and have them close you up. I hope it gets better soon. I know you have been going through it!

i talked to me doc right after it happened, and unfortunatly he thinks its best to close on its own. when i tore my buttocks incision, i did the same and it closed up itself fairly quickly. so its just a waiting game now.
