Suggest Treatment For Open Bleeding Sore Under Breast
I found an open, bleeding sore, the size of a pea under my right breast after showering the other day. It doesn't hurt and have no idea what it could have been from. I've kept Neosporin on it and kept it covered but it seems to have grown a bit in diameter. Any idea what this may be?

It could be anything from a minor boil to a tumor. Are you married and with children? Also are you diabetic? Do not keep the wound covered (by wearing lose clothing over it). How long is it taking to heal? You must get your blood sugar levels checked along with a mammogram done as soon as possible. You could get back to me with all your reports. I 'd be glad to help. Till then keep dressing it.
