Asked By:marie902 in Canada, ON

I am 3 weeks post op ( will be 4 on wednesday) and I noticed some green old scabbing around my nipple and under my boob. Could this be possible infection? There's no other sign of infection only that my nipples are super sensitive to the cold weather and I'll get a tingling burning sensation when cold. Also when I'm cold I tend to tense up and now my boobs feel like cement . Is this normal ?
