I've had an abscess in my right breast for about three years now, and I've noticed something that's been worrying me. My right breast seems bigger than the left, and I've also lost sensation in the nipple. I'm wondering if this is due to the abscess or if there could be something else causing it?

Had laparoscopy for gallstones about six weeks ago but still feel a slight pain in one of the incisions, especially when touched or if my shirt rubs against it. The incision is small, around 0.5x0.3 cm on the right side. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

It's common to experience some mild pain or tenderness around incision sites after gallbladder surgery, even six weeks post-op. This is likely due to the healing process and the body adjusting to the surgery. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's important to consult a doctor.
