Looking for advice on what to do with my scar. I have to have a recexcision on 4th April as they didn’t get clear margins. They’ve already been in twice for first lumpectomy and then haematoma evacuation. The latest is 3 weeks old now, is it worth me starting to oil it when they’ll go in again in 3 weeks? I’m wondering if softening it now might aid healing next time? I still feel far from healed and now I’ve tested positive for Covid this morning and feel really poorly with it. A tad fed up! Hope everyone is doing ok xx

  • Aww I can't help with scar or advice but wanted to send a hug as can imagine you are a tad pi***ed off. Hope covid symptoms aren't too bad x

  • Hi, I'm sorry I can’t help with advice on your scar, but maybe it's worth calling your nurse for a chat. But I just wanted to say hi, how rubbish you need another op and how rubbish you have Covid, hope you feel better soon x

  • Poor you. I had to have 2nd op after mastectomy and scan showed I needed another auxillary clearance! Had mastectomy in Dec then 2nd op end of June. I treated my scar as normal . As others have said, speak to your nurse and get take their advice. I hope you feel better soon.
