Dear Friends:
I have permission of the poster to pose this situation to you. What do
you all think?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My four month old boy has mastitis, or appears to have had mastitis which
then morphed into an absess on his areola just below the nipple. It started
as a small bump deep in the chest wall, and over a few weeks it got bigger.
Last week it began to swell the breast area a bit, no redness, and this
weekend it became a small red lump. By today it was a huge blister with
obvious pus behind it so off we trotted to the doctor. They decided to lance
it, and drained several tablespoons of infected fluid out. I have a standing
script for antibiotics if it starts looking worse, otherwise I am waiting it
out. They hadn't ever seen this before.
Has anyone else had this happen with their kid or someone elses?? Seemed
bizarre to me.
