What is causing this inflamed, itchy rash to form around the incisions of my breast lift? Could it be the stitches under my skin

Asked By:Bunny02 in Atlanta, GA

I am 13 day post op of a anchor style breast lift w/implants. At 10 days post op I developed this inflamed itchy, rash along the incision line mostly under my breast and around the nipple area. I took Benadryl for the itching and that helped. I am cleaning my incisions with wound cleaner, then applying triple antibiotic ointment and sterile gauze. I was told my stitches would dissolve and that I did not need to come in to have them removed.
