red lines???

Hi girls
Im now 7 weeks post op and yesterday noticed quite a few tiny red lines down the outside (ie. near my armpit) of both my boobs, there are a bit sore and raised to the touch. Dont think theyre stretch marks as arent they white?
Bit scared as it seems a bit odd and is freakin me out!
Any advice would be fab
Thanks xxx

Stretch marks start red/pink then turn silvery/white hun so maybe its that but im not sure if they're sore usually, have you got any pics? It could be mondors cord if they're raised and sore x

Thanks chick, not heard of Mondors Cord!
They arent too raised but you can feel them above the skin. I'll look up mondors cord. Maybe i should get some bio oil or something? Have just been using baby lotion as thats what the nurse told me to do for the 1st 6 weeks xx

Think what Nads said is a possibility. Think it was mrsmartini ?posted this last week, quite a few ladies had it. Sounds bad but, apparently very common and goes on it's own or with massage.

Perhaps it would help to ring your surgeon/nurse to check. Hope you feel a bit better. Take care xx

Yes thanks hun, all she said was she thinks it sounds like stretch marks and doesnt know what else it could be. But keep my eye on them, Im thinkin thats probably what it is, just strange at 7 weeks theyve suddenly appeared! Unless its cos im wearing my sports bra less??!!
Thanks for askin xxx

Hey hun, I'm no expert but it does sound like the beginning of stretch marks to me... I have them on my thighs from getting a lot taller in a very short time when I was 13, and they started like that. My suggestion is to moisturise lie hell with a specific product like Bio Oil and they will hopefully go before they develop into proper stretch marks xxx

I agree with Moonmar... good advice about the Bio Oil as well.
