I got my 2nd BA last April. Within 5 mo I developed a Cap Contr. My now retired surgeon pres. me Singular to try break up scar tissue. It hasn't worked and I have a consultation with another surgeon in a month and a half. The last few days my breast has had severe itching. My Capular Contracture is advanced (most likely IV) I have no feeling on almost my entire breasts. I can't relieve the constant itch as I can't even feel scratching. Becoming worse & worse and very uncomfortable. Any advice?
