In my hand Envy
annoyingly a distinct lack of gunk but I did take a pic of the blood and the remaining abscess if anyone wants to see

How long does it usually take images to get permitted? Trying to stay awake in the expectation of this being worth it!

Oh don’t get too excited, there’s no pus Grin don’t stay awake
might not get accepted until the morning maybe due to body area?

I had one last year and it was sooo disgusting - the smell when it erupted was making me and the family gag. It went on for about five minutes. I was booked in for a drain at the breast clinic the next day but there was no need - was dressed and on antibiotics for about a month and still took about six months to properly heal. I have a photo but far too much boob to post online 😄

Thankfully this was only a small one! The worst I’ve had was an armpit one which ended up needing a skin flap
I’ve been on antibiotics for 4 days which has helped I think

Whilst we’re all waiting, my first breast abscess (for I have had several) burst in a quite anticlimactic way given the amount of pain it was causing me. It just started to leak blood, then the pus started and it went on for at least 30 minutes. The relief from the pain was immediate. I thought I just had just left two holes the size of a grain of rice but once it was cleaned up by the district nurse, it was the size of a 2p across and deep and took 10 months to heal over properly. This was long before I joined Mumsnet and you lot would have loved progress photos.

Subsequent abscesses have been much less satisfying.

MIne was the same! Gaping wound that did not want to heal at all. My nipple also went black before it burst. I am a 34c bra size and my boob went up at least two sizes.

Black?! Now I feel my small one is going to be very anticlimactic

There is a Mumsnetter who very kindly posted a pic of the effect of her breast abscess eruption on her shower cubicle. There was gallons of the stuff

Oh I remember that one! Mine is nothing like that, it’s just basically spraying watery blood
i am immunocompromised so at the slightest mention of lump/cyst, the doctors panic and shove me on antibiotics

Don’t tell anyone…,

wanttokickoffbutcant · 05/05/2026 00:17

Ah won’t attach!!

wanttokickoffbutcant · 05/05/2026 00:23

Got it to add - it’s not pretty but think I am
in the right place….please don’t judge my puffiness. Was not a good time.

Bless you - glad it isn't too bad for you then as it's the last thing you need to fight off.

I didn't even know you could get them on boobs.

I had a bum crack one that I still remember fondly.
