Asked By:kerrina66 in Cardiff, AU

Surgeon cleaned under GA & told me to inject under skin into breast pocket with iodine every 2days & dress with aqualcel ag. No infection but microfilm. After 3 treatments my breast has become hard, hot, sore and inflamed not at wound site but breast pocket. Allergy iodine? Infection? or cos i used waterproof sticky dressing instead of gauze doc told me said it needed to drain. Why is this happening.I just want to heal and be well?
