Suggest Treatment For Rashes While On Treatment For Shingles
I had a mammogram 8 days ago. I had the tissue torn once before and told the technician. She said it happens and tried being careful. The next day, I got a burning sensation when showering and noticed an abrasion. I am 65 yrs. old with 38D size and I put polysporin on and it has seemed to have worsened with a rash like appearance. I was even thinking that it may be shingles but it came from the mammogram..what should I do?
Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for your query. I dont think that such rash could have been caused by mammography so you should see is there some other causes that you are allergic on such as shampoo or certain food and then it can be treated with Benadryl for example. mamography is not harmful for skin. Wish you good health. Regards
