I had a lumpectomey and lymph glands taken 2 weeks ago.I have noticed that the area around the nipple has lost its colour. Is this normal please.

  • Would depend where they have taken the lump.  If its closer to the nipple.. Better contact your breast care nurse.  

  • Hi Twiggy, my boob is still not the same colour since my lumpectomy 18 months ago and my areola is still very pale and the skin is very dry so i suspect what you have is normal but as always, if in doubt ask a MC nurse just to be sure.  Love from Ann
