I chose a doctor in Fl and live in WV. He won't return calls or provide follow up. No local PS will see me. I've followed up with my GP. I have had redness under breasts for 2 weeks. I'm 6 weeks s/p bl w/ aug. 2 weeks of bactrim in case it was cellulitis w/ no change. WBC and sed rate are normal. Breasts are soft, no pain, no edema, incisions healing. Tape off for a month. Could this be a suture reaction? If so, how long does it take for them to dissolve? I'm an ICU nurse, any help appreciated!
