Thanks Lana - I do have implants. In the weeks prior to having the implants put in I got a terrible red rash across my breast, in under the arms pits and spreading down my chest. At this stage I had the expander in. I spent 5 days in hospital on IV antibiotics and 6 weeks on oral antibiotics, strictly every 4 hours. The end result was it was a topical infection - an allergic reaction to something, which we believe was sorbolene. When they opened me up to remove the expander and put the implant in I was clean as a whistle internally.
I do hope that yours has now settled and won't happen again and if it does, as you say, get them out and start again when your body is ready..................what else can you do?
Take care
