Oh my - this was a new one - I saw a mom today(now 7 days post partum) 
who went to ER the night her milk came in because a "bug bite" under her arm 
started swelling up "really  big" and was leaking out white/yellow liquid. ER MD 
said was probably staph infection in armpit and lanced across the "bite" and 
put mom on ABX. No culture or any type of dx lab..... you betcha - is ancillary 
breast tissue with nipple , with nice 1/4 slice across it, still swells up before 
feedings and leaks.  Poor father of baby, kept saying the liquid "looks just like 
the baby milk" - but no one was listening.  I was able to call the NP at the 
clinic and she ok'd to stop abx and have mom return to her if any redness 
devoloped.  I about fell out of my chair during this poor families story.....
