PLease, send images to us!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. Please, I will like to see images to understand more exactly what you are describing. Seeing the rash and describing it would help narrow down the list of possible causes and would guide recommendations and suggestions for addressing this. This is also true for the abscess on the breast. If the abscess is big, I would most likely ask that you see a doctor for examination and management as this may require some wound care and antibiotics.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
