Hi, I’m sorry this is such a minor problem 

I had surgery 4 days ago - DCIS 

I knew there’d be bruising but tonight I’ve seen a lot more, at the bottom, very red / purple 

is this normal, 4 days on?

thanks

    Hi Tillykins123 welcome to the forum and it is never a minor problem if its bothering or worrying you.

    It is common for there to be bruising  but we are all different in how much if that makes sense? It does sound like the bruising is still coming out so it may get worse before it gets better and it can also take some time to disappear.

    If you are really worried in a few days I would give the Breast Nurse a call and ask them to have a look but hopefully it should settle.

    Thank you for the reassurance Slight smile  I think I need to relax a bit and let my body get on with healing, instead of worrying about every tingle.  I’m sure if it was bleeding or infected, I’d know about it by now!
