Has the abscess site been re-assesed lately, like 
by ultrasound? Paget's disease is a form of breast cancer presenting as you 
described, although I don't think it is usually painful and also is usually 
unilateral in its presentation.
Hi Laurie...my Paget's disease of the nipple was painful and the direct cause 
of my ceasing to pump or nurse on that side after the birth of my son two 
years ago.  When a photo of this nipple was shown at last summer's ILCA 
conference it caused a stir....such that I think the L.C.'s at the session were 
startled to find out what it was (cancerous and removed)....so,  I  suggest that it 
may present more as candida, or other infections (for which I received 
treatment for, and sometimes it seemed to make it less painful for a bit- and then it 
would get worse again).  

Now I say, "if you hear hoofbeats, it might be horses, but rule out the zebra 
too."
