Hello and thanks for posting,

I am sorry to hear you have been unwell and are now concerned about your breast.

The skin in that area sounds like it is still quite reactive, and may well have been affected by your recent virus. Try and keep the area cool and covered from strong sunlight. Use PH balanced products, and pat dry. Some patients anecdotally have said that aloe vera/ after sun products can help calm the skin down.

If it persists despite theses measures, or becomes hotter and more sore, then make an appointment to see your GP. You can sometimes get breast tissue infections, that require antibiotics. You can always make a GP appointment anyway, then cancel nearer the time if your breast improves. 

I hope this helps,

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.

Yours sincerely,

Vanda
