I am so frustrated . I had mastectomy and a tissue expander was placed in my right breast. I was healing very well. After two weeks I went to my PS and unfortunately cause the doctor removed some of the glue that my wound still needs time to heal . I went home and found a hole that is infected and ther Le was discharge showed infection. My breast swelled and was full of fluid. They removed the TE. My skin now is thin and I am crying a lot. Is there a chance to strengthen my skin
