Question 6

I have a boil like cyst that reoccurs on the outside under both my breasts and it irritates the surrounding area what is this?

Accepted Answer

Is possible. If these are recurrent is possibly caused by staph bacteria and increasingly more common a specific type of staph bacteria called MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus).  If this is the case it can be treated with an oral antibiotic and often the concomitant use of an antibiotic ointment intranasally.  Occasionally these have to be drained surgically.

It is not uncommon for young women to have their breasts develop unevenly during puberty.  You may not have noticed it until you had furuncle under nipple.  I would not be concerned.  Take care!
