yellow boils around nipple incision... help!!

by queenie 17th February 2011, 8:47 am

Had my BA & uplift done in 17/12/10 & at my 6 week check nurse was really pleased with my healing. 4 days ago I noticed a little yellow spot around my right nipple, I was in the bath, so gently squeezed it ( ok,ok, I know I should have left it!) a small blob of yellow came out and a little blood. It left a small hole, approx 2mm, but every day since I've had to repeat this & now there was another one opposite the first one. I'm getting a bit of tingling and mild shooting pains too. Should I be worried? Anyone else had anything similar?

I would go back and get checked out....or see your GP. Could be a mild infection? Does your nipple feel warm to touch?

Yes, I would recommend getting it checked out hunnie - maybe a quick course of antibiotics will stop any infection before it gets any worse.

Hiya babes, I would go and get it checked, it sounds like you have a little infection there. You might need a quick corse of antibiotics to clear it up.

Good luck and let us Knossos how you get on x x

I'd know and get it checked out, just to be sure

First thing is to call your surgeon/nurse and ask for their advice. They'll probably say to leave the wound and try not to pick at it. I remember at about two weeks post op a scab fell off and left a little hole, but this closed up naturally. Even so, as long as they have a record on your notes, this will help with any future treatment if necessary.

however if you think there's a chance of infection book an apt with your GP to have it checked out.

Thanks girls 4 all yr replies. I've made an appt with the nurse at the clinic in Fulham after speaking to the emergency doc at Riverside. He thinks I may need a course of antibiotics just to clear any infection that may be lurking. Will try to leave alone til I go on Sat. No picking or squeezing allowed!

Ahhh, glad you've got something fixed up sweetheart, better to be safe than sorry Hug

Oh well, it seems you've got it covered now hunnie, if it is infected the antibiotics will sort it and definately NO picking or sqeezing, there's a good girl..... Hug

Just to update u, saw nurse on Sat and she said nothing to worry about. Probably a small stitch that hadn't dissolved. Think I did more damage by all the picking and squeezing! No antibiotics needed and it's healing up nicely!
