Which is better to use - arnica gel, cream or the ointment? I am having a TT and BBL.

Hello, Thank you for your question. It is difficult to say without a full assessment. It was a good idea booking a consultation with an Allergist, hopefully they can help you diagnose your allergy. All the best.

Aufait184,You are so early after surgery that I would advise patience. As you have noted, a lot of change occurs as the swelling goes down. Over the next few months, the swelling will continue to decrease and your body will get more definition. If there is residual fullness on the left side,...
