Breast Cancer 2001, 2009 and Brain Cancer 2011 April . I Do Not Have a Rash, and the Only Medication I Am on is Aromasin. I Had reconstruction in 2002, saline implants.

I have only encountered one patient with itching sensations. It went away with time. It would be unusual for you to have a problem this far out from your surgeries. You can not be allergic to implants as far as anyone knows. There is 50 years of research and data. I have never heard of a correlation. You should see your surgeon and perhaps an allergist. One other might be a neurologist. Pain, itching, irritation can be due to nerves that are irritated or inflammed
