Is a rash after a lumpectomy normal?

Where is the rash? Is it near the incision? When I had my lumpectomy and reduction both of my breasts felt like they had prickly heat. Every bra and top I put on felt like sandpaper next to my breast from super soft cotton to silk nothing felt good. That prickly sensation finally resolved but it lasted nearly 3 months. And even still it's been 4.5 months and my one nipple still itches like crazy.

my rash is near my incision, it doesn't feel hot. It does sting somewhat and its very itchy. but when i touch it a small sting is there. it has gotten shorter but its going on 4 or so days now. did you find out why you had so much discomfort?
