Lumpiness under lumpectomy incision

Is it common to feel a lumpiness underneath where a lumpectomy took place? I had a lumpectomy a month ago, and I keep feeling this ridge or area of hardness around the scar. I feel like I'm driving myself a bit silly with panic here; every time I feel something a bit irregular, I worry the cancer has come back straight away :sad:

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    It can take several months for your wound and surrounding breast tissue to settle down. You can try applying some bio oil to the scar area to soften it.

    You can also check in with your hospital breast care nurse too, who can advise you further. 

    I hope that this is useful,

    Best wishes,
