Looks like an infection. There appear to be another couple of spots forming down to the base of the breast opposite where your hand is. Could be a staph infection, not serious but can spread so maybe get an earlier appointment as you might need antibiotics.

It looks like an infected spot. Keeo an eye on the red area apreding and any signs of tracking.

Hello did you notice this bump when you were in early stages of pregnancy? I have an identical one

goose1964 · 26/11/2020 12:23

I had one his like that, it went of its own accord

That's a relief, is the cream to draw it out? I had this on my leg and after the cream drew it out I ended up with a hole which was fine but then it seemed to be getting bigger and they said it was cellulitis which essentially caused the flesh to eat itself. I ended up on an IV drip for 4 days in hospital with antibiotics over a bank holiday which seemed ridiculous but I had gone to A&E just to have it looked at so I guess they had to admit me. Cellulitis has to be treated quickly with antibiotics so if gets worse get it looked at again Flowers.

Hi, I am aware this was posted in 2017 and it’s 2022 now. But I’m just wondering if you ever found out what this was? I’m 19 and have one similar and am very scared and worried

What did your doctor say it was? I’m experiencing this now need answers.

Ladies AND gents if you experience ANY changes to your breasts, please don’t leave it too long to have it checked. If it’s something it can be dealt with quickly, if it’s nothing all the better!

I've had red raised lump on my breast for a while in the lower inner quadrant. It used to leek blood when i squeezed it. It now leaks clear fluid when I squeeze it. There is also a small pea size lump underneath. Does this sound like cancer?

Was everything ok? I am 17 weeks pregnant and worried about mine

Greekgemini · 08/10/2023 22:20

What did yours end up being?

Greekgemini · 08/10/2023 22:21

BeccaW90 · 05/12/2023 19:41
