Asked By:Magical669045 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I recently had a breast augmentation(7month ago) i have had a difficult recovery as i had a hemotoma that had to be surgically removed. Im finally feeling back to “normal” but ive noticed this rash on my chest. I did always get some acne/hormal acne on my chest but i don’t remember if it ever was this much. I just wanted to get some opinions on this. Since I didn’t have a smooth recovery initially everything freaks me out.
