Thank you all for your replies.
I have had two operations to clean out the wounds. I was in hospital for 10 days on IV antibiotics, then four more lots after i got out. I have had bloods, and aspiration and swabs done. It is all coming back negative. My initial operation was on the 5th September, I was back in hospital on the 23rd. Operation to clean wound on the 26th & again on the 29th. I had drain tubes in both wounds. I have only a small amount of pain in my breast, the redness keeps coming and going. I am going to see an ID Dr next Thursday, hopefully she will be able to give me an answer. If not I will ask to be sent to Melbourne to sort out the problem, I live approx 4 hours from the city but i need to find out what is happening. I have spoken to my Breast Care Nurse, she also has no idea why this has happened.
