Asked By:pinkbarbiedoll in Nyack, NY

I had a breast lift with implant three weeks ago. About last week I took off the bandage and a piece of skin came off it later heeled on it's own. Then the entire nipple and areola started being really dry scab like. I rubbed bacitracin on it and then it just peeled away. No discharge or green stuff or pus ever came out of my nipple. It just peeled away like one big old scab from a cut.
