[|Human|] I had a lumpectomy in April 2010 followed by brachiotherapy and chemo.  The insertion site of the SAVI device never healed.  In June 2011 I suffered a massive infection in my  breast.  The infection has resulted in a large lump of scar tissue that has fluid inside.  It is attached to my pecs and is only moderately uncomfortable. The surgeon says it is OK, the radiologist says it needs to go as it makes any cancer diagnosis in that area difficult.  I have had OT with massage, light therapy and Kenesio tape.  I would like a few outside opinions on whether I should keep the "messy" tissue, or get it removed.
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for posting your query. I appreciate your concern for the large lump of fluid filled scar tissues. I have read your problem diligently, after going through it, I am of the opinion that you have developed a progressively increased and heaped-up scar that has a fluid and referred to as Keloids. Since you are not comfortable with it, visit a dermatologist so that it can be removed by one of the following procedures:1. Intralesional steroid injections are given once every 4 to 8 weeks into the keloids) and usually help flatten keloids2. Cryotherapy: Freezing keloids with liquid nitrogen may flatten them but often darkens or lightens the site of treatment3. Laser: The pulsed-dye laser can be effective at flattening keloids and making them look less red. Hope these suggestions could be of great help to you in getting the treatment. Wishing you good health.
