I had a basal cell removes from my chest last year. It has scarred up pretty bad and my surgeon has recommended injecting steroids (he specifically mentioned Kenalog) in attempts to flatten the scar out. I’m nursing my 2 month old so I’m a little worried about any effects on her from either the steroids or the location. It’s not on my breast but probably 2 inches above.
