Can a surgical scar fade after a total breast cancer excision?

Although I am not a total excision, because my lump is close to the clavicle and farther away from the nipple areola, so I have a chance to preserve the breast. But my lump is 2 centimeters long, so the scar is longer than 2 centimeters, the operation to now also have half a year the scar is a clear fade, but feel the skin after radiation therapy has a more obvious marks, these days I found the scar a week there are obvious black spots. And the scar that piece is harder, I do not know if it is related to the cold weather.

So here I want to tell those friends who are about to undergo radiotherapy , radiotherapy period of skin care is also very important, if there is a relatively slight peeling hair thick, you can use salt water spray wash the affected area, the effect is more obvious. I've personally experimented with this method, which is also informed by my radiotherapy doctor, so you can rest assured that you can use it.

Here is a picture of me during my radiation therapy.

I had my radiation therapy in the hottest weather, and it was easy to sweat, which is not good for your skin after radiation therapy, so the weather is very important when you have radiation therapy, I think!

I hope my answer can help some people!

Because the scars from the surgery are so big, it may not be so easy to fade them. It's been almost 20 years since my surgery and the scars are still visible and sometimes itch like crazy.

However, with more advanced treatments and smaller wounds, the healing process may be faster and better.

It is said that there are various creams for topical application to lighten scars.

Finally, good luck!

The color of the scar will be lighter and not as bright red as it was at the beginning.
