Asked By:Tammy25143 in Mdantsane, ZA

I am 4 weeks post op from breast reduction surgery. Week 1 was just stitches, week 2 liquid bandaid and steri strips, week 3 Bio Oil... The recommended Bio Oil caused issues, after 5 days I started itching, getting red, I could see pockets of fluid forming under my skin. I started having sores open up, and I've been dealing with the ever since. I am allergic to the Bio Oil it has the same ingredients as Baby Oil (mineral oil). So what can I use or should I wait till the wounds heal?
