I am almost a full year post-op (has breast reduction done may 2018). I have just noticed a small bump above my scar line on my left breast. It doesn’t hurt at all and i am not bothered by it, I just don’t know what it is. I think it may be some sort of ingrown hair or a pimple or something? It’s purple and kind of moves like it has fluid beneath it, almost like a blister. I don’t want to start freaking out unless I have to. Can anyone help clear this up for me?
