Asked By:kayla5466 in Waldron, AR

I'm on my 3rd post op day from having my breast reduction and I've recently noticed that I feel as if I'm having an allergic reaction around my dressing which consists of gauze absorbent pads and a tube top given to me by my surgeon to hold the dressings in place. My skins is red and itchy and has bumps. Should I be concerned and how do I fix this problem?
