My nipple was very hard and black after my reduction.. The scalp came off and it had a foul smell. Went to the doctor yesterday and my PS got all the scalp and dead tissue out of the wound. It hasn't been 24 hrs and it seems like it's turning back black. I'm worried, Please help!. (Photos)
I had breast reduction surgery on 1/8/18 but a couple days ago I noticed foul smelling pus coming from my incision site. I saw my PS yesterday who said it isnt anything to be worried about and to wash with soap, keep it dry, and put a band aid on it. My next appointment with him isnt until 2/6/17 and I am worried that the wound is getting worse and may need more care than I am giving it. The other breast is starting to leak the same pus. What should I do?
Hello Im a 24 year old female and I'm 31 days post opt from breast reduction reduction. Within the last week I have notice some stinging and sporadic pain that shoots through my left breast along with greenish/yellowish pus that smells horrible it comes out and leaks. I have not had any fevers. In the past I have suffered from hidradenitis suppurativa not sure that's connected. I'm just trying to see if this is normal?
I had my breast reduction 7/26/16 and had some major problems with my left nipple and areola. I lost my nipple, and I have a rather deep fistula. I keep having this disgusting, smelly discharge from the fistula, and my surgeon thinks it is fat necrosis. I'm getting super discouraged because it won't heal. How long does something like this usually take to heal up? I've been packing it twice a day with strip gauze. Thanks in advance!
I have recently discovered some smelly yellow discharge on the steri drips that have fallen off the incisions, 2 weeks afterbreast reduction surgery. The odor is absolutely foul. I think I notice it more than others because it's on me. I admit that I did not finish taking my prescribed antibiotics, and I am concerned that as a result I have developed an infection. I don't have a fever, chills, or any pain. Any thoughts? Should I start taking my antibiotics again?
Hi,over the last couple of days I have noticed an odour form my right breast,it's not foul more a weeping smell I do what've some yellowish fluid leaking as well,I still have my steri strips on so can not see the site,I'm due for these to be changed on Wednesday,they were changed two weeks ago. Should I be calling my dr to get it checked earlier? I have no symptoms of fever etc,I have just had an extremely bad cough for over a week which is mild now. I just slight moved my dressing and the smell is quite offensive I'm due for dressing change and appointment Wednesday. is it possible it's an infection? Regards lynette
Hello Doctor says this is normal, just excess tissue leaving through the incision. He said the incision is called a deer claw incision and this is common. There is no pain, redness, fever or inflammation from the incision sites. The pus smells awful. Usually about a teaspoon of yellow discharge stains my clothing everyday . It is coming from the incisions. When I look at the incisions, some have have the yellow pus on the scabs, some have leaking pus. Thanks
