Hi

i had a mastectomy with immediate trampflap surgery in 2015

I have  developed a yellow skin colour on the breast  which looks like a bruise with small dots. 

I have seen a Doctor they said it was a bruise and broken small blood vessel's this “bruise is now 7 weeks old and looks no different to what it was when I first saw the GP..

Any advice as to what I can do would be very much appreciated.

  • Hello DarkCat59 and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about this discoloration on your breast.

    Unfortunately no one here can say what it might be caused by but I suggest you go back and speak to your GP again.

    It sounds like it probably should be looked at in the breast unit just to be on the safe side but see what the doctor says and go from there.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
