Hi,

This could be due to a secondary bacterial infection in the breast. A course of antibiotics will be required, ultrasound examination of both breasts may be required.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sujoy S. Bhattacharjee, OBGYN, Maternal and Fetal Medicine
