Need advice - inflammation of the breast after punch biopsy

Was told today that after my punch biopsy of the breast that I have an inflammation and to contact doctor for cream. I have already tried a few creams to deal with the crusting, soreness and weeping around my aerola. Was being checked for pagets of the breast so don't know what to think as inflammation is nothing to do with pagets, eczema etc. The small crusting which I originally presented with has more than doubled in size.

Any advice help would be appreciated. Not sure if I should get a second opinion for my own piece of mind.

  • I'm sorry to hear your breast has become inflamed since you had your biopsy Weetitch but I hope the cream you've got from your doctor is helping. If not, do be sure to let them know and see what else can be done or used to reduce this.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will offer their support and advice to you soon but whilst you wait, you can find out more about getting a second opinion on our website.

    I hope this helps and things start to improve for you soon.

    All the best,
