Question:

What is the best way to scratch under an arm cast?

i have a cast on my arm and i got water in it and it itches a lot, is there a way i can scratch it?


Answers:

Use something soft, like previously mentioned with the long Q-Tips. DO NOT use anything sharp or hard (coat hanger, back scratcher, etc.) these things can scratch your skin and lead to infection. The cast is a dark, warm, and now moist area which is ideal for bacterial growth. You do not want to break your 1st line of defense against bacteria, your skin!
