Red, Dry Flaky Spot on my Breast? (photo)

May 19, 2013
Asked By:blossomxnt in Stockholm, NJ

Breast surgery (silimed implants) in mid-january, and my dr lives in another country. Isn't itchy but I'm numbed on the exact spot. The spot started as a dry, flaky beige spot 1-2months ago but it's now turned like in the pics. Very flaky and no moisturizer works. What is it, is it dangerous and what can I do? Thank you
