I had a breast augmentation and put icepack on my skin. 20 mins on and off. I woke up and had a what i thought was a bruise the next day 3 blisters developed. They popped and i appliciaed triple antibiotic cream. To the touch it feels sort of leathery and it’s dark color. Will this fade? I have been using mederma as soon as it was no longer an open wound as well as this skin lightening cream. Below are a few pics of the progress and what it looks like today.
