How is it now? Which device were you using... Brava, BB, or NB? Brava gave me some terrible pains and rashes, I think it's because of how long you have to wear it and the adhesive they use. I even had a scar from Brava on my left breast where the sides of the silicone stuff had dug into my skin and cut me open - it's gone now, nearly a year later.

I would stop wearing brava until its healed up. I had something similar recently, it went bright red, sore, and was slightly raised. I left it to long, and carried on wearing brava sporadicly thinking it would heal up and it got worse. In the end I've had to stop altogether and get hydrocortisone cream to heal it up. I'm unsure whether I'll be able to wear it again now, as my skin seems in a hypersensitive state. When its totally better I might wear it for one night and see if goes ok. If not I'll have to leave my skin alone for a few months and then start a 2nd cycle later. Good luck

When I got to the end of my session and my domes were a bit knackered I got a patch like this which eventually broke the skin. I founf the best thing was to apply a lot of antiseptic skin cream then a tiny piece of cling film (?saran wrap) just big enoug to cover the sore patch, then more cream and another piece of cling film - this allows the two pieces of cling film to rub against each other and all the cream prevents friction on the skin. I didn't miss a night and at one point the skin actually healed up by doing this while still putting in long hours. I did have to reduce the suction slightly so it wasn't too painful to sleep. Also, don't wear underwiring during the day as this rubs on the same area.
