Asked By:purplek in QLD

I have a severe burning sensation and sensitive skin on my upper stomach under breast area only. I'm day 9 post op. It's on fire me the skin feels on fire and hot to touch... there is no visible redness or irritation. Is it the shearing rubbing from my binder, or is it an internal problem such as muscles not adhering to the skin? I'm slightly numb in the area too, but can feel the burning fire sensation. Is this normal? I old he checkup nurse today and she couldn't give me a direct answer?
