I’m 5 weeks post op and the top part of my breasts itch and once I’ve scratched it, the skin feels hot and give me a burning sensation.. I can only describe it as heat rash as that’s all I’ve ever experienced!

Answer: Consult with options Thank you for your question. You are in your very early healing stages, so are your nerves. This is possibly your nerves reaction to your surgery. However it may also be a mild contact allergy. Make sure you inform your surgeon. For now you can pick up over the counter topical steroids. This will help with inflammation and itch that you are experiencing .

Answer: Burning skin after augmentation It's unusual to have this type of sensation, but not unheard of. Generally if you've had these symptoms since your surgery then most likely it's due to irritation of nerves due to the trauma of surgery. If this is new, then your doctor needs to be aware of possible infection. If it's nerve pain, then it will go away with time. Sometimes your doctor can prescribe Gabapentin which may ease the discomfort of nerve pain. Please check with your surgeon.
