Boil on breast - don't terrify me please

Helloooo - I've just noticed a weeping sore about half an inch across on my right breast. Not in a place where it rubs bra. Should I go to the doc?

It looks like a very, very nasty spot/boil and I've just had one of those on my face so maybe the germ moved.

I really don't want answers saying with relish ooo it could be cancer, thanks all the same.

A few years age I went through a stage of having boils on the breast. The first one came up as a lump with no head and of course I went running to my GP.

I would see your Dr just to check if you need antibiotics but I was fine so why shouldn't you be?

You know people on the internet can't diagnose illnesses, don't you? And setting perimeters in what info you are prepared to receive is silly.

No one can tell you have (or haven't got) cancer. It would be reckless telling anybody they definitely haven't got a cancer when we don't have all the facts.

Get yourself to the GP if you're worried. What you describe 'sounds like' a boil but if you are worried a medical person needs to look at it.
