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

I don't exactly understand how far out you are from surgery however this could be bruising that is taking a while to resolve.  Consider using Arnica Montana cream and tablets for bruising and give it time.  If it doesn't go away, please consult a dermatologist as you may be allergic to a cream or something in your detergent.  Best wishes!!!

The rash pictured in the photographs deserves an opinion by a dermatologist. It is highly likely that it has anything to do with a breast augmentation.

Thanks for your question and pic. It is hard for me to tell what the rash is. It does not look like anything that is from the implant itself. Find a dermatologist in your area and they will be able to help. Best of Luck!

Hi there

You state you have Silimed implants and if this is the case they may be covered with a polyurethane foam (P(URE) implants).  If this is the case, there is a known incidence of the implants causing a transient rash in 4% of cases.  It usually subsides in a few weeks and can be managed with antihistamines.

You should contact the doctor who put them in and get their opinion.

Your surgeon may be in another country but he/she should be able to look at photos such as the ones you've posted here, and then to offer advice.  You may need to be seen by a dermatologist near you and, possibly, a plastic surgeon (perhaps your PS knows someone in your area who can help).  Otherwise, you should see someone on your own, just to be sure.  It is hopefully not a serious concern but I don't think you can take that for granted, or make that decision on your own.  See a doctor, or two, near you, and communicate with your PS.

Good luck,

Dr. E
