Did anyone have any swelling or redness that seemed to spread after biopsy?? Fine needle aspiration of breast?
I had a minor infection from my biopsy that turned into a boil. Nothing healed it until a nurse gave me some Fucidin ointment and a dressing - after months of infections, that cleared it up a treat. To be honest I don’t think I’d paid it proper attention with all the other stuff going on. So do point this out to the nurses and don’t suffer for months like I did. But I hope it’s just bruising in your case.
