i had a breast lift and reduction jan 2023 and i notice now a year and some change later i get these itchy red bumps. Its not extremely itchy and honestly doesnt bother me much, and weirdly only happen at night? and usually the left breast and it seems near the incision from the nipple down, but not exactly on where the stitches were. theyre about a size of a quarter and red and dont seem filled with anything. and it always goes away when i wake up. is this rash normal after 1 year post op?
Hi I am 50yrs old had a breast reduction 8mos. ago and I have developed itchy nipples and very tender breast tissue, my right more than left. Developed infecation 3 days after surgery in left breast. Dr said oh it's nothing, 6weeks later she said it was total infected. Had to have an emergancy deburrment surgery.
I had shingles and am now dealing with the itching that follows. I have been told that the itching is from the nerves healing. I have been told also that it can be indefinite. Can patients with this condition still have surgery?
im nearly 5 weeks po. ive had this about a week. i thought it was the tape on my incisions so i have taken it off 3 days ago but doesnt seem to be subsiding. its weeping itchy red and annoying on both breasts. I have an appt to see my surgeon this week.
My skin is so rough/dry, itchy, and red. The left breast is definitely worse than the right. I have an appointment next week with my surgeon but Im hoping I can get some info on if this is a common complication with this procedure. I tried putting moisturizer from the surgeon on it and tried coconut oil but both seem to have just irritated it more so I havent been putting anything on it except when it gets so itchy, i put some A&D ointment on it and it seems to soothe it a little bit.
I have a red spot that isnt itchy but has not subsided after 3 or 4 days. it is large and hasnt gotten smaller or bigger that I have noticed. It isnt tender to the touch either and isnt even noticeable in anyway concerning pain. I have gotten a red spot before on the other breast but it was really itchy and would go away after a day. I am kind of freaking out. Is this normal and should I be worried? please help. The only thing new in my life is that I got a new job.
I am now 16 days post op and my symptoms started 11 days out. I'm allergic to adhesives. I was given internal sutures and steri strips. The skin turned very raw, red, itchy on day 11 all around the incisions. I had blood work done to rule out infection. The doctors say it's an allergic reaction but they don't know to what. Zyrtec, Benadryl, ice, and prescription steroid cream hasn't worked. What next?
I had my breast reduction surgery 10 days ago and the incisions are VERY itchy. I had my first post-op appt today and the doctor said in 7 more days I can use nail polish remover to remove the glue layer and then I can apply whatever I'd like for the itching. This just doesn't seem like a good idea to me being that anytime you get remover on any sort of wound, it stings.. Just wanting a second opinion or another solution to remove the glue so I can use something to control the insane itch.
