Why do I have white areas on the JP site under my breasts?

May 31, 2015
Asked By:bramirezrn in Monterey, CA

I had a breast reduction & tummy tuck 2 weeks ago, the JP sites on my breasts have white tissue. The left breast has some darkening of the skin and I'm freaking out, could it be infected? My breast tingle a lot, no fevers, no erythema surrounding scars.

Can I use hydrogen peroxide to clean an open wound under my breast?

If your wound is the result of recent surgery, I recommend asking your surgeon for wound care instructions. In general I do not reccomend using hydrogen peroxide on wounds. It kills bacteria, but it also kills healthy cells, which slows wound healing.
