Question

I have a blister that continues to "grow" I don't want it to get bigger or become problematic. I need to heal, I'm trying to take easy, I'm 2 wks post-op from breast reduction. This spot is at the t zone, but I also have it going to a lesser degree at both vertical inci

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

The "blister" is shedding of the epidermis due to the trauma delivered to the skin during breast reduction. Almost always these will heal with proper wound care.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

You are experiencing a bit of epidermal slough.  It is not unusual and will heal with conservative wound care.

Jonathan Weiler, MD · Answer

The best treatment is keeping the skin moist with the antibiotic ointment of choice of your surgeon. This is your skin healing and a normal part of the reduction/mastopexy process. Good luck!!
