After breast reduction?!


Question: I had a breast reduction almost 3yrs ago, for the last year periodically on the bottom of my breast on the scar tissue a red bump will appear and itch really bad. The bump will swell to the size of a dime sometimes bigger. After about 30 minutes it will dissapear... At first it was only one breast now the other one starts to do it. I've tried different bra materials, detergents, lotions, etc.. Nothing seems to work and I dont know what's causing this to happen. Can anyone help?

Because it comes and goes I wouldn't be jumping on the cancer wagon- But I would be making an appointment with my Dr. Or even calling the surgeon who did the reduction and asking what it could be!

The Dr may refer you for ultrasounds to check the tissue, or biopsy the lump if it's present at the time, or even refer you to a skin specialist.

Good Luck

I would go to the family doctor and ask them about this.

you should really go to a doctor and get it checked!!
it might be a bad bump an tht can cause breast cancer and
other types of bad stuff.
so go get it checked!!
