Nipple has open wound after breast reduction. Should I be worried? (photos)
WorldtravelsJun 27, 2018
Hey there! I had a breast reduction on June 1st. About 5 days ago my areola began to fall off, which I heard could happen so I am not too upset. But now I have this huge open wound that is really puffy and swollen. The first day of the intense swelling (2 days ago) there was a lot of puss and blood. I have been treating it with a spray my surgeon recommended along with Aquaphor. Will it heal and close on its own or do you think I need to find someone to close the wound? Should I be worried?
