Asked By:Bright606275

Please help! This is my second breast reduction. I had my first 10 years ago and 6 months ago. I included an implant this time around. A couple of weeks after surgery i got a severe infection which took over a month to get rid of and left a huge scar. My question: i am now noticing one areola is red and lumpy and chipping away at the brown getting closer to the nipple. I have been treated by led light for the scarring and was wondering if its causing this or is it something that will go?
