Posted under Breast Implants q&a

Itch and rash due to breast implants? I had silicone breast implants on August 2007. I was found to have (+) ANA on 2010.

Lupus was ruled out but I have CREST Syndrome. Asymptomatic except for intermittent esophagitis. I developed itch & skin rashes on May 2014. The biopsy showed it was drug-related. Rashes were gone for a month, but came back July 28. I just saw the allergist today and he discussed that the rashes maybe caused by my implants. He said that if blood test and skin allergy test show negative results, then we will have to go through the "breast implant being the culprit" path. What are the chances?
