Going green

I had my lumpectomy and senital node biopsy 10 days ago. The dressings were changed 3 days ago and the nurse thought things were healing well.

i had been told about the blue dye and that I might sweat, cry and wee blue - but … yesterday my nipple started to turn green - which hadn’t been mentioned.

Is this normal or should I worry?

At the moment I’m tending to worry about just about everything and am trying not to panic so thought I’d ask on here.

  • Mine has done something similar, the blue dye is fading and then blending with the yellowing of the bruising, making it look green. However if you’re worried definitely get it checked out. 

  • Hi, i had surgery on 11th Oct and mine was very blue straight after surgery. Its now been nearly 7 weeks and its now blue/green so it is slowly going. I was told by my consultant it could take up to a year for it to fully go as im so pale.
