Lump On Breast, Was Abscess, Inverted Nipples, Itching. Advice?
Hi, about two years ago I found a lump on my left breast which turned out to be an abcess. I found another small lump on my aerola which I squeezed and a little pus (sorry) came out. Now it is hard, the size of a pea. So you know, i also have inverted nipples which have been itchy lately (though not so much now). Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Recurrent breast abscess is not a common occurrence.
Usually during the time of lactation breast abscess can be seen.
If you are a nonlactating woman, possibly small cysts or masses in the breast are getting infected and causing pus formation.
So you once consult gynecologist, get examined and go for sonomammogram.
By this the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
Take care.
