Did anyone experience skin sensitivity? How long did it last?

I had a breast reduction exactly 2 months and 1 week ago. I was a size H. I have not been able to wear any bra due to the sensitivity of my skin. The moment my body gets hot, the areola circumference turns red. I immediately need to cool down. Now, the under fold is still pink, so I'm trying very hard to keep it cool. The skin feel prickly like sandpaper, and it is painful to touch ( I wear light clothing). When will this end? I assumed that after 2 months, things would have been better. I was put on nerve meds, but it still doesnt seem to help.

Is this permanent?
