Advice on coping with sore skin post lumpectomy

I’m now 3 weeks post lumpectomy. Dressings came off 1 week ago and the skin on that breast is super sensitive and sore. It is OK of not in contact with anything, but sore under a bra. Like the bra is made of sandpaper. I’ve tried e45 cream and bio oil. Has anyone else experienced this? How long does it last? Is there anything else I could try?

i should be going for radiotherapy soon. I guess that will be worse?

advice very welcome.

  • Breast conserving op. Huge WLE width of full breast. SLNB, scar is about 10cms, any ideas? Scar skin under breast is flaky and looks like an ***. A huge vertical scar exists , nipple areola removed and 1/2 bottom part of breast removed. Did not expect so much removed and SLNB scar is way too big. RESULTS Friday, sick of lies and lack of info being given.

    Any feedback to bring light on what on earth happened during my surgery would be greatly appreciated.  Breast is so swollen, and, feels alien to me its ugly, its hard and lumpy and vile!
