Can dry skin be the cause of skin irritation post breast reduction? (photos)

alleyesonme18
I had a breast reduction a couple of months ago. I’ve had very dry breast (no itchiness). I’ve experienced skin irritation, tiny bumps or broken skin that starts oozing a brownish clear liquid. I’ve been to the doctor previously and was prescribed pills and an ointment. It went away and it returned twice so far. This is the second time. Attaching photos. I put newgel+ on my incisions and Vaseline on my breast to keep them hydrated but it seems like it’s not enough. What can I do?
