Morning. Has anyone on here experienced a skin infection since their breast surgery?  I developed redness tingling and itchiness on both boobs last week which is continuously spreading. I have been told it’s an infection but no one knows why and I’m on antibiotics which so far it has not responded to. 

  • Hi Eden welcome to the forum . I had an infection onnthe underside of my breast after surgery and also had antibiotics. I then developed a cellulitis which left my breast with a look of an orange peel.. Random question could it be related to the excessive heat we had last week at all??? When I get like that now I take an antihistamine but if you feel this is not settling nor that the antibiotics are working then please do go back and see the GP and get them to examine you and offer reassurance for you..Best wishes Gail x

  • Thank you. I have to say I wondered that too. The nurse suggested anti histamine but the doctor didn’t suggest it. I’ve tried to stay out of the heat and bra off whenever possible. Just seems to be increasing vim with the surgeon on Friday so hopefully he will have an answer.
