itchy and purplish veins! Are these stretch marks forming?? help!

wonderw · 09-21-2009, 02:42 AM

I am 5 weeks out from my breast augmentation and everything has been *perfect* until now.

But for the past week I noticed them getting really itchy like 3 or 4 times a day. They don't itch anymore but I have what looks like little popped blood vessels that are purplish/red. They are concentrated mostly around the nipple but extend farther out too. A few of them are forming lines about an inch long that look like they could be turning into stretch marks! I'm so upset! I didnt go very big, I got 375 saline unders so I figured I was safe from stretch marks, and I've never formed a stretch mark before.

This is really bothering me, the markings look so ugly and my boobs were so pretty before

Has anyone noticed that before stretch marks formed, the spots were itchy and looked like tons of little popped blood vessels? Or could it be something else?

Thanks so much in advance...

hmmm. sounds like it could be stretch marks- if i were you i would be proactive and rub bio oil (i have never used it but lots of JBI girls swear by it), vitamin e oil or cocoa butter... it never hurts to slather those new girls up!

I know exactly what your talking about. I have the same thing happening to me. I'm soooo upset and I don't know what to do about it. I have been using vitamin E oil and cocoa butter and I don't think it is helping. I also think i'm allergic to cocoa butter because I slathered the girls up one night with it and I woke up to a rash on my girls. So frustraed

oh no... do you think yours are turning into stretch marks? i think mine are

its seems like they are just getting worse. Im putting both cocoa butter and bio oil on mine, but it doesnt seem to be helping.
Oh well, if stretch marks are the worse complications that we end up getting, it think we are still pretty lucky

good luck with yours!

I got stretch marks on my boobs when i was prego with my baby girl and used camellia oil and rosehip oil. No more stretch marks for me

. Use a loofah to prep the skin in the shower and apply the oil when you get out. Apply oil to wet skin it works better! Also Mother's blend works really good. It's all natural and can be found at many stores Huckleberrys and babies r us to name a few and it's cheap! Cocoa butters and other creams or oils you find have fillers and can actually harm your skin i do not recommend using them. Stretch marks do take time to fade so be as patient as possible!
