I have an infection on my nipples and the detached after stitches were removed
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nipple infection: I am not quite certain about what's happening here. Did you have surgery on your nipples that opened up after the stitches were removed? Please consult your surgeon again for further management of the open wound and for an antibiotic prescription. The infection most probably prevented the incision from healing well.
