worried: bumps on scar line - biopsy indicates allergy

[Shobha]

Hi All,

Was wondering if anyone else had essentially benign bumps on the scar line.

This has been worrying me for a while. It started about a year ago, on the mastectomy scar on the right side (cancer had been on the left). The bumps were itchy and red. I had panicked and had shave biopsy done and the result was a "Spongiotic dermatitis with dermal eosinophils" and not cancer. I was very relieved and applied the prescribed cortisone cream. The bumps go away with the cream but come back every now and then.

The problem is that it has been an year and this condition keeps coming back and I am worried that I may be ignoring the underlying problem. Just want to be sure this is not cancer.

Any insights or if has anyone else experienced this issue?

Thanks,
shobha
