Think the stinging feeling fairly normal (was with me anyway) but not sure about the itchy spot - athough I would guess thats nothing worrying either - didnt want to just read and run - hopefully someone better equipped to advise will be with you soon xx

aww I did at the start too - even went to show the nurse what I thought was a problem but it turned out to be nothing - I felt a bit daft but she was so nice and reassured me its ok and best to check anything that worries you. its what you pay all that money for - the aftercare and peice of mind too. xx

Are you taking anti bs hunny? If you are that should be preventing any infection. It's normal for stitches to be itchy it means they're healing. As for stinging when you move it's normal for the skin to be a bit taught around the insions also.
Ictiness under bandages is completely normal and it's very common to get spots under and around the bandages, where the skins not being washed and not being ale to breathe.

I don't think it's anything to worry about xx my scars look great thus far and they have been needly and very tender to touch . I itched under and around the tapes and had what looked like " bite" spots, flat red and red around, and itched but I ignored them. If it's weeping or broken then I don't know x

Hi hun

Congrats on new boobs! How you feeling? My incisions stung alot for the first few days and were really sore but they're a lot better now. I've had my dressings off now and they look great!

How weird, I've got a mark on my left one too! But mine was from the strap i had to wear. it really rubbed my skin and made my skin peel. its ok now though. your anti biotics should fight any possible infections xx

Mine were a bit stingy for a while and then I had them removed which made me feel much better. I'm sure if you have dissolvable ones, they also dissolve quite quickly and you should feel better soon
