Sore, flaky nipple

Hi Valleyside welcome to the forum. When you say fluid Im curious as to  what exactly you are meaning as fluid in your breast could be Lymphodema and flaky skin and redness could be a possible cellulitis developing so you need somebody to look at that for you as soon as you can and to give you some re-assurance as to what exactly that is. It could be from the Radiotherapy but it needs seen by a medical person.

Thank you Gail for your reply. Yes the fluid is Lymphedema, but my breast surgeon said it didn’t need draining. I will give my BC nurse a call today xx

Hi Valleyside it doesn't need draining  but you do need to see someone that knows about Lymphodema to get that fluid moving. I have the same and I saw the Lymphodema Nurse and she said to go without my bra some days when I'm not going out. She also said to jiggle the breast about.  I know it sounds daft thinking about it, but it works to move the lymph fluid. The things we go through. Get that nipple area checked out as this could be a cellulitis and if they say that's what it is you need an antibiotic and a 2 week supply, so not the usual 1 week that is standard.

Did you manage to speak to your breast nurse at all? xxx.
