ever since I had my reduction, which was nearly 16 years ago, periodically, my areolas will get extremely dry and flaky. This has happened more than one time. I have pretty severe eczema, as well, though sometimes the areola dryness occurs absent an eczema flare. But when I'm mid-flare, the areola dryness/flakiness almost always co-occurs. But during this current flare, my areola skin seems to just be breaking down. They ooze serum, and are crusty in general. Any clues what this could be?
It has been 21 days since I had a breast reduction, went from DD/E to a C. First my left nipple dark purple (Not black) covered with a black crust. After 1 week the nipple went pink, and the wound start healing (with clear blood and lot of wound fluid), no infection. But this past friday (19 days post surgery, I noticed a type of hole between skin and breast (see photo), I am able to see dissolvable stiches. Would like to hear a second opinion on what is happening and how long for recovery
Approximately 1 month post-op (25 days to be exact). 23 yr old, healthy BMI non-smoker. Im concerned about the appearance of the scar, originally there was crusting which turned to sloughing. Surgeon said it appeared normal(2wks).Now the crusty old skin hassloughed off left this white appearance. occ sharp pain there, not warm to the touch. Right breast had a lot of residual fluid and i have to massage to break up. Is the incisions healing properly? And is there anything else i could do to help?
