What Causes Pain And Blisters On The Breast?

Ten years ago I had reconstructive surgery for breast cancer, I had the surgery where they use your stomach fact to replace breasts. For the last few days I have had extreme pain on my left breast last night the whole left side of my breast was covered in huge blisters which were of a yellowy colour they burst while I was in the bath. This morning my breast is very red and sore I have an area that is very red with red lines coming from it.

The symptoms you are experiencing is concerning for cellulitis (skin infection), most importantly MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus). Early initiation of antibiotics is very important. So please be advised to follow up with the emergency room.
