I had my pre-op yesterday for my breast reduction and was told I cant wear make-up or lotion. The hospital facility is roughly an hour drive there, and since I have fair and superrr dry skin, Im not excited about not being able to wear a light sunscreen that will help my skin stay moisturized and protected for the nearly 7 hours Ill be there. Will it be okay to wear the sunscreen or is it really THAT risky to do so?
I had a breast reduction a couple of months ago. Ive had very dry breast (no itchiness). Ive experienced skin irritation, tiny bumps or broken skin that starts oozing a brownish clear liquid. Ive been to the doctor previously and was prescribed pills and an ointment. It went away and it returned twice so far. This is the second time. Attaching photos. I put newgel+ on my incisions and Vaseline on my breast to keep them hydrated but it seems like its not enough. What can I do?
So about a months ago I got a breast reduction, and I had minimal pain along the way. Two and a half weeks in, I start developing dryness and redness. It doesnt hurt and isnt hot. Ive been putting mosturizer on it but I dont know if its the best thing to do so Ive come here! Please help me!!!
The nipple that is irritated is the left nipple and as you can see in the picture is red and inflamed! I think its probably just a part of the healing process but just want to make sure its not abnormal. It's not warm to the touch or anything....will this go away as my healing progresses?
3.5 weeks post BR. I have recently noticed over the last day or two my skin being quite dry and flaking in certain areas of my breasts. Of most concern near the vertical incision lines as they now appear wider to me and a lot redder/pinker. I have thin skin and am prone to eczema. I am currently using vitamin e oil and silicone gel twice a day for scar management.. I also had skin irritation from tape which seems to be ok now. Should I be concerned about this or just part of the healing process?
