Is Foul Smelling Infected Blister Between Breasts Normal?

I am 46 yr old female, 5'8" 215 lbs. I have what appears to be a pus filled bump between my breasts on the bra line. It is now producing a foul odor. Can I remove this myself, and if so what is the best method? My OBGYN looked at it and said it is common to get this in this area.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

PUS filled bump, is due to bacterial infection.

Take an antibiotic AMOXCILLIN 500 daily twice for 3 days along with one pain killer to decrease inflammation.

Infections are more at bra line due to excess sweat, so avoid moisture by using talcum powder.

Use loose clothes for some days.

If it does not decreases ,consult a dermatologist.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
