Itching after biopsy this morning

puzzled1

Silly question probably - I had ultrasound guided biopsy this morning. It’s been six hours. Not much pain but my nipple is itching like crazy. The biopsy was 3 cm away from the nipple. Is this normal? The aftercare instructions didn’t say anything about itching. I had an mri guided biopsy and a stereotactic biopsy and excisional biopsy in 2018 and there was no itching.

I’m guessing nobody has had this issue. Just in case someone in the future experiences it the itching totally stopped last night so it must be normal, lol! Anyway, three to five business days and I will get results of biopsies.

Hi @puzzled1, I'm glad the itching stopped. I had bruising and pain at my biopsy site so I used ice. I hope the results of your biopsy are benign.

@maggie15 thank you so much!

Thank you for posting puzzled1. I had my stereotactic biopsy today. I’m worried about the results. How were your results? How long did it take to get them?
