I am almost 2 months post BA .I keep getting these blood/pimples on my nipples. They just kinda appear out of nowhere. I wont see anything & then all a sudden I see one. Sometimes I put a bandaid over them other times I dont. They pop on their own & leave small holes. Heal up and then another will appear not always in same spot Please help.

Answer: What are these bloody/pimples on my nipples? Thank you for your questions and photographs. It appears that you are suffering with intermittent stitch abscesses. These are localized areas of infection related to the inability of the stitches to fully dissolve. Normally local wound care is all that is needed to clear these, as you have done, but occassionally a stitch needs to be removed. Voice your concerns with your surgeon, they can help manage these small isolated infections.

Answer: Spitting Sutures It the dissolvable stitches that have not fully dissolved. They're harmless, but they do delay healing so if you see a visible string, make an appointment to see your surgeon so that he or she can remove it which will speed up your healing process. Best, Dr. Nazarian
