I was advised that my areola would began to peel and once it peels it will return to it's normal color. I would like to know if the pictures attached now are healthy peeling or should I be concerned. Is there anything I can do to help it heal better. There is no smell although there is consistent drainage it is not excessive. I also have not regain nipple sensation in either breast is this something that will return or at this point should I give up on regaining feeling?
