What Causes Hard Bump With Pus Under The Breast?

I have a bump that will appear under my breast and the area around the bump will start to get hard after a couple of days the bump will get bigger and turn red. Then a day or two later it will have puss in it. But it s not white fully it has a greenish color to it once I get out the puss it heals up and goes away. But I don t know what it s called and how to prevent it from coming back. I ve read what other people have said who have some of the same symptoms as me and came up with sebaceous cyst but my bump doesn t get that big. It s only the size of a pea or smaller. I just need to know what it is and how to stop it from coming back.

I really appreciate your concern, if this is the abscess formation then it needs surgical draining of puss opening the pockets are very important then higher antibiotic may needed or puss needs to be sent for culture sensitivity, once this steps have been taken then it may not occurs again hope this information helps.
