Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns
It is quite difficult to predict if you will have a breast abscess or not. The fact that you have had it does not put you at an increase risk of having it again. However, if measures are taken early enough, it would not progress to abscess formation.
If you start feeling pain on one breast, complaint early enough so that it can easily be managed with antibiotics.
I hope that helps
I wish you well
