Infections that don't go away

Ok, so I finished rads May 31st...my breast had a few pimple like sores and had some soreness around the nipple. I used polysporin and it seemed to go away...I did not notice any problems in the last month or so. I went up to the cottage this past week and by mid week I had yellow hard chrystal like discharge. The nipple is burning and itchy at the same time. It was on all of my bras and pajamas...so of course I stopped swimming. But since we shower in lake water, I had to then clean my breast with bottled water, and kept polysporin on it the rest of the week. Wouldn't you know it...hottest week of the summer and I can't go swimming...

I had just had surgery on my neck July 6th and had a skin infection - cellulitis and they had given me eurethromiacin (can't spell ) So anything that was going on from the radiation should have been cleared up as well. I was told that I could go swimming as my incision was closed.

New dr at walk in clinic I saw yesterday gave my cephalexin and a antibiotic cream with cortisone in it.

So am I going to have problems with this breast forever?? Just wondering if anyone else had reoccuring issues after rads. I have a swimming pool and now can't enjoy it either...

Ok, complaining is over.

Next surgery is scheduled for next week Tuesday, so swimming wouldn't be an option anyway...

Take care all...S73
