Milk duct removal

Hi I had total milk duct removal just over a week ago. Stitches nearly gone and it's healing well but the nipple is so sore. I have a black area that's hard and feels like a scab but it's not. I also lost some skin on the nipple. I am worried about blood flow as it's a grey/ blue colour at times and very sore to touch. Any ideas and advice. Thank you

    Hi Alexamary,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    Although I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 9 years, I eventually had a double mastectomy and lost both nipples, so I cannot answer your question from my experience.

    I am not a doctor either, but this sounds as if you need to get intouch with your breast care nurses and ask their advice.

    They are usually very good at either bringing you in, if they think you may have a problem, or in reassuring you over the phone.

    Please phone them straight away and tell them of your worries.
    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
