I had a spot on my breast just a little lump no head. Stuck a sterile needle into it and squeezed and only a small amount of clear fluid came out.
The next morning it was green but hard and completely dry.
I put hot compresses on it which had no effect.

I put some savlon on and covered it over. Now it’s red around it but still totally dry. When I squeeze gently absolutely nothing happens.
The green bit is around the size of a 5p the red bit around the size of a £2 coin.
I have no signs of infection apart from the redness which is not spreading or tracking

For the future... boobs are one of the few areas that you don't stick needles in (unless you are a trained doctor). Just get it checked out ASAP.
