    Hi ladies.

    I’m 6 weeks post op today and from about 4 weeks post op I have terrible itching which has now spread under both boobs and seeps when ever I itch too much. When left I can only explain the marks to look like exthma (can’t spell it).

    It’s driving me insane and I’m wondering if anyone has the same thing or knows how I can treat it???

    Xx

    Hi Whoop

    Its sounds like a fungal Rash

    If your scars are completely healed you could try buying some anti fungal cream from the chemist and put that on twice a day, but make sure you wash the old cream off first.

    Just some advice.

    Or go and see your doc and see what he/she says. Hope it clears up, coz if it is a fungal rash the itchyness can be horrible.

    Thanks sharon67.

    Do you think sudacrem would work?

    It’s terrible, I don’t know if I need to keep it moist or dry.

    Hi WHoop

    If its weeping then you really need to keep it dry but with the right cream

    If i was you i would go doctors especially if your wound has not fully closed, last thing you want is to put the wrong cream on. I am a trained nurse but don’t take me to my word, better off going docs.

    Dont put sudocreme as it will block in the mositure and make the area sweat which will cause more itching. Go doctors whoop :-)

    hope you get better soon xx

    Wound is fully closed now but your right, a trip to the doctors is needed.

    I will keep it dry and clean until then and not put anything on luke I have been doing.

    Hearing from you has helps, thanks a lot x

    Hi Sharon

    I have not been to the doctors yet but I have been searching the net and it sounds like I have something called Intertrigo.

    Going to docs tomorrow hopefully x

    I would get this checked out by MYA as my friend came out in a rash, and transform cosmetic said it could have been the implant, as they said being allergic to the silicone can cuase a rash, so def get it looked at.

    Dont wanna worry you, but just get it looked it to be on the safe side, my friend was ok in he end though, it was just a normal rash and was cleared up by antibiotics xx
