    Hi everyone, Sorry another question, 4 weeks post lump removed and just noticed the skin around my scar is flaky like you would get from a very light sunburn. Is this normal please? Thanks

    No apologies necessary! Yes, a bit of skin flaking is normal. I had a wide local excision and a re-excision, and had some skin peeling afterwards. The whole area has been traumatised, all sorts of instruments and liquids are used to sterilise and retract your body during surgery. Some medications are very drying. Pop some Vitamin E cream or Bio Oil on it. If it gets worse I'd go see your GP.

    @SallyS I massage bio oil over my scar twice a day . It's fading nicely and I'm wanting my breast in tip top condition for when radiation starts. I'll be moving away from the oil at radiation time.
