Hi,

Just finished this past Wednesday, My breast is several shades darker and my hair follicles are even darker and I have tiny brown dots everywhere. I used aquaphor and aveeno and I will continue to moisturize however can anyone share any tips on how to get this discoloration to fade, will it fade lol? Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Mine is fading but it's taking months. I think part of it depends on your skin - if you tan, how long does your tan last? I finished in 3rd week of September and the skin is still darker but less than it was before. Btw, I still have the blue dye from the surgery and that's since Dec 2017!!!

    Thanks Moth! thats helpful, my tans typically last around 5 months so I guess I need to buckle up for the long ride ahead lol. Im certainly not complaining, I feel blessed to be here:)

    It can take a number of years to completely fade. Once you no longer even think about it, it is gone. Your body and mind heal together it seems.
