Very Bright Pink Nipples After Reduction Surgery and Itcing, What Should I Do, Is There an Infection?

Question

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Without a picture it is impossible to give any specific opinion. However the operation is irritating and patients do complain of itching or burning from time to time after breast reduction. Take this up with your own surgeon.

This question is best answered with  pictures.  The redness and itching could represent many things.  Examples could be a rash or keloid formation.
