Before a mammogram, you should avoid using deodorants, antiperspirants, powders, lotions, creams, or perfumes on your underarms or breasts, as these products can contain substances that might show up on the X-ray and interfere with the results. It's also advisable not to schedule your mammogram the week before your period if your breasts are usually tender during this time, as this can make the procedure more uncomfortable.
