A member asked:

I had a lumpectomy a month ago and my breast feels like i have a burning sensation in it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Still in : Post operative period, so it is probably just healing pain. If it is red or hard, or if you have fever or chills, see your surgeon because it could be delayed infection or bleeding. Otherwise, apply heat, rest, and wait for full healing. I hope the lump was benign.
