Lactnetters - Another interesting call today, this one from our local LC. She has a pregnant mom due next month. The mom has grown a "raisin-sized" lump on the underside of her breast - on the breast itself, not on the areola or in the crease under her breast. It grew, then burst, leaking pus. She had one earlier in this pregnancy on her areola. She was pregnant a few years ago and she got one of these growths then as well, but miscarried in her 4th month. She does not get these lumps when she is not pregnant, only gets them during her pregnancies. Doctor says it is mastitis, has her washing breasts with Physohex and taking antibiotic. Told her she should not bf, that it would make condition worse. Anybody have a clue what this could be? Boil? Cyst? Abcess? Thanks! Cynthia D. Payne LLL of Berkshire County Massachusetts
