Re: Allergic Reaction to " Self Dissolving Sutures "

Halle,

Ten years later, I still have occasional problems with sutures from my

lumpectomy/breast reduction surgery. I get irritation on the scars,

then I get puffy, pus-filled pimply things, and a couple of days later

I pull little pieces of suture material out. The first couple of times

it happened, my primary car doc thought I was nuts. Now she just

shakes her head and smiles wryly. Don't know if it's an allergy, but

it IS a pain in the...well...boob, I guess---
