Asked By:Independent889754 in Avon Park, Florida

I had breast lift with implants last summer. My incision opened and took 2-3 months to heal. About month 5 after healing was complete I noticed dry skiin and itching near incisions. My providers nurse said it looked like a fungal infection and advised to use antifungal cream for 7-10 days. It still has not cleared up.any thoughts?
