What kind of adhesions are we talking about here? Are they common ones, or could they be something unusual—you know, following surgeries around the breast area in both men and women? And... I have to ask... is there any chance this could be something malignant?

But hey, if you're losing sleep over it, maybe go see a doctor so a pro can actually give you a real opinion.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?
I am wondering... does this type of scar tissue develop in women who have undergone partial breast removals or some other form of localized excision?

About eighteen months ago, I noticed some swelling in my left breast—or whatever one calls that area, haha. I went to see a doctor, had an ultrasound done, and was told it was just some inflamed glands. Eventually, I underwent surgery to have the enlarged tissue removed, and everything seemed to go perfectly fine at the time. Now, however, I’ve developed these lumps at the surgical site about 2 to 3 cm long. Some feel like little knots; they range from round to irregular in shape. They aren't painful when I press on them, nor do they seem to be growing. Interestingly, the initial swelling started right around the time I began hitting the gym and lifting weights. After the surgery, once I got back into my training routine after a bit of recovery, the enlargement stopped progressing.

I am wondering, could this just be scar tissue forming, or am I looking at something more serious?

About a year and a half ago, I noticed my left breast—well, let's just say my chest area, haha—started swelling up. I went to see a doctor, had an ultrasound done, and they told me it was some kind of inflamed glands. Eventually, I went in for surgery to have the enlargement removed, and everything seemed to go smoothly at the time. But now, I’ve developed these lumps right where the surgical site is. They’re about 2 to 3 cm long; some are round, others are more irregular in shape, and they feel quite hard. Interestingly, there’s no pain when I press on them, and they don't seem to be getting any larger. I actually noticed the initial swelling started around the time I began working out and lifting weights. After the surgery, once a bit of time had passed, I got back into my fitness routine, and the swelling didn't return.

I am wondering, could this be nothing more than scar tissue from the procedure, or should I be worried about something more serious?

God bless everyone,

Back in June or July, I caught scabies from someone at a nursing home, and honestly, the entire summer was just one long struggle with it. My doctor prescribed this cream called Balsam Perivanum, which finally stopped the itching, and then she told me to apply Kuterderm to any spots that were still red.
The thing is, since the scabies kept coming back two or three times, I started self-treating and repeating the therapy on my own. I’m doing fine now—no itching for two or three months—but there are these two large, pimple-like bumps left on my side. Each of those two inflamed areas actually consists of about three or four tiny little bumps. When I try applying creams (like Kuterderm, or some other ointment with... I can't recall the exact name, something with "thop..." in it), they just won't go away. Sometimes the swelling and inflammation subside so much that nothing feels hard when I touch it, but then other times, it flares right back up again.
On top of that, over the last four or five days, a red bump or something similar has popped up near my wrist. If I use some aloe vera gel, it clears up, but this latest one just won't budge. It doesn't itch at all, but I am quite worried.
Does anyone have any insight on this? Is it possible to fully clear this up? :S
