I noticed 2 days ago that I had some discharge under the tape under my right breast where the two incisions meet. Upon closer investigation I see a hole. I emailed a picture to my PS office (I am two hours away) and was advised this is quite common and that I should leave it open with polysporin and let it heal over. I am concerned because the hole is about the size of the end of my pinky finger and seems rather deep. Should I be packing it instead? Or does it need more intervention than that?
Should I be worried about my incision? It hurts a little bit. I am 12 Days PO. I return to work on Monday and ever since then I have noticed the pain and burning feeling I think its because of sweat. When I shower I dry them off with cold blow dryer. Should I take the tape off?
My breasts are itchy from the side boob, below the boob (near my incisions) and my back. All areas where my post-surgical bras hit.... I wasn't itchy my first week, but I was all taped up under the bra. This week (week 2) I was super itchy and today, 2 w 2 D post op I had to cover my side boob and back in cortisone cream. Is it normal to itch in those areas too?
