Skin sensitivity 2 years post-mastectomy

hendymom

I'm back on this site, 2 years post-BMX with reconstruction, looking for anyone dealing with significant skin sensitivity - specifically under my breasts, around my rib cage.

I'm very happy with my decision and have been making lemonade (read: no-bra life), but..... as the summer approaches and it's time for bathing suits, I'm starting to feel anxious about what I'll be wearing. Bathing suits were torturous the last 2 summers. I've given it time and now I'm coming to this community for advice. It could be that there's a brand out there without a band under the breasts. The band makes me nuts.....I have to itch/rub my skin incessantly, and cannot wait to remove the bathing suit. The same holds true for sports bras -- and even bralettes. Has anyone dealt with this? Any advice? Thanks, everyone, and be well.
