5 years post-op - Slimy gooey discharge from nipples. Could this be silicone leaking?

Angelgirl2688
I had a BA almost 5 years ago my right breast due to nerve damage has never regained feeling and is painful. For the last 6 months I have had very bad slimy gooey discharge from my nipples it forms a white with brown crust and they are very itchy. my primary doctor prescribed me amoxicilin as she thought it was a staph infection but here I am 2 weeks later and its the same has not gotten better and leaking still persists. could it be silicone leaking?
