Hello,

Lymph-edema is common after mastectomy and axillary clearance of lymph nodes after carcinoma breast. I suggest you to consult your treating surgeon for management of lymph-edema by draining the excess fluid from sub-cutaneous tissue.

Papilloma over arms is unlikely to be associated with breast surgery or lymph-edema. Treatment of papilloma is managed by surgical removal followed histopathological examination. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for management of papilloma.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
