I had the same thing happen to me a few days ago. I had surgery a couple of weeks ago. The ps did an excision on one side if my chest so it still pretty moist under that band aid. I made the mistake of using a waterproof band aid when I was redressing it after a shower. The adhesive on the waterproof bandaids is super strong, so when I pulled it off it pulled a piece of skin off under the nipple about the size of a match head. This freaked me out. The doc said to just put antibiotic ointment on it and a regular band aid. He said that the moist environment is actually better for a healing wound than airing it out and that the skin that pulled off should heal quickly. Good luck with it!
