Good morning
I am 3 weeks post op and had dressings changed twice. The new dressings are dry and itchy and when I was feeling around the sore area last night, I felt a small lump in the area where they operated.
Is this normal?
Hi catw33
I’m Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. The lump you felt is more than likely scar tissue from the operation. However I suggest that you contact your breast care nurse after Christmas if you are really concerned about just for your own piece of mind.
Best wishes and I hope you enjoy Christmas.
