Lft areola is tender with a dull ache w/ no trauma. After feeling wet, thr was a silver dollar sized blood stain on my bra. Becuz of the tape, I’m not sure what is bleeding. I used gauze to clean w/hydrogen peroxide & took a shower. I added Neosporin and a band aid. Tht night the band aid had blood but was not soaked thru. I added more Neosporin and a new band aid.
