Persistent blue discolouration around my nipple

Hi Polly17 welcome to the forum..Wow I've never heard of the dye lasting so long. It's maybe worth it if you still have contact with the breast team giving them a call and asking their advice. Someone may be here who has experienced this and I'm sure they will be along to.offer up information for you. Hope you get sone answers and I'm interested to hear hiw you get on with this best wishes Gail

It took mine several months to go, but it did eventually go. Definitely not 2 years! 

Had my lumpectomy and sentinel biopsy Dec 2022. Still got a blue boob which looks like a huge bruise ,lm not bothered about it but don’t think things are going to change after this time either,told that it rarely lasts this long but if it distresses you why don’t you have a word with your breast nurse. 

Hi Polly17 I had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy 13 years ago now and my breast is still discolored and sometimes it is more noticeable than others.  It has faded a lot but you can still see it.

Thank you everyone for replies 

I guess it’s like a bad tattoo. Breast nurse suggested dye may have leaked into another layer below skin.

It’s looking like I’ll have to get used to it as it mightn’t ever fade completely

1. Still have blue & brown staining since surgery in March 23!
