Is it something to worry about?

Okay. Back from the weekend GP clinic. He thinks it is a pressure spot...and the darkened area is skin death (which happens with pressure sores) ...which is what I was thinking with the rings...but couldn't see how. My zonta pillow has little bows on them and possible they were caught up and pressing down...and because I can't feel anything in that area I wouldn't know. Because less blood vessels due to mastectomy it has a slightly higher risk.  He believes the red area is just the skin trying to heal it already and the dark area will scab up and come off. Happy for me to return if worried still and just watch. I will do so and if worried will send pics off to bc nurse at the Adelaide clinic where surgeon is. So no infection (never was a raised spot or pimple like area) and no need to cut it out or antibiotics at this time, and unlikely to be needed. Just darn annoying. I slept very heavily the night I noticed the reddened area in the morning. Both the nurse and the Dr today where astounded at my reconstruction. ..asking who the surgeon was etc and saying how good it was. Which is very nice. Felt comfortable with the  diagnosis and know I can go back for review if needed and I still have oncology appt Monday next week anyway.

I might take my stone rings off at night ...which is damn annoying and either stop using the zonta pillow (so comfy post surgery though) or cut the straps and bows off as a precaution.
