Hi! thanks for writing to us sharing your health problem for a fluid-filled sore lesion in the right breast!

Well, this is a common clinical problem especially in women of reproductive age group but it is never malignant; therefore, not to worry about this!

As per my experience of needle biopsies, I must suggest few possibilities in such cases like:

1. fibrocystic disease, infected

2. subareolar abscess

3. duct papilloma

4. Paget's disease; a rare malignant condition

Therefore, it needs a surgeon's attention and microscopic examination of the secretion for confirmation and medication; but please do not apply any adhesive dressings; just apply antibiotic lotions/creams...

regards,

Regards,
