Asked By:Cfollow

I had my breast Augmentation on Nov 3,2013. Since about a month after my surgery I get hives on my scar lines only! It happens about everyday whether I have a bra on or not! This is miserable because it itches very bad! Any idea why this is happening and will it ever go away? It's been months now! his happens on both breasts! I never know which one it will be until the tingling starts and then the itching and hives are immediately there!
