Asked By:tatianna954 in Miami Beach, FL

Hello I’m 23 years old I have recently got a breast reduction in October 15 2018 but my left boobs just keep peeling I’m 4month post op and it’s still not heeling it get really dry and leaks little pus around the nipple. I did have some issues heeling I had got an infection but I was given antibiotics and I was rejecting stitches does that have anything to do with it and why it’s taking so long to heel .
