Itching

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has this... I am 10 years out of double mast, and reconstruction. I had lat flap and implant on left side, due to having previous radiation on that side. I had just an implant on the right side. I still get intense itching, and the iron bra feelings.. I can't believe how many years this is going on... Am I nuts, or does this happen to many?

You might want to see a Dermatologist as "intense itching" could be a skin issue.

It's only on the breast area, and it's never changed from day one of the mast/reconstruction. Skin doesn't have a rash, no redness, just horrible itching that drives me crazy, and the tightening , iron bra feeling

I am seeing plastic surgeon next month.. I wonder if it can be an allergy to the implants. I still have to sleep with a tight bra at night, or I feel like the implants are moving, and I wake up in a panic attack. The bra seems to stop this.. I just figured by now, all t his would be gone. The doc originally said it's nerves waking up, but 10 years later?
