Question 1

i have "pimples" on my breasts. dark red in color and pushed - blood comes out. flatten after popping and kinda leaves mark. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: Skin lesions (bumps, pimples, etc...) that pop with some blood, and leave a scar mark, should be checked by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist. A dermatologist can tell whether the lesions are a serious problem or not. Rashes are very hard to describe in words. A diagnosis needs a visual examination.

Question 2

hi, i'm overweight and dealing with polycystic ovarian syndrome. i have pimples on my breasts and get chafing underneath them from sweat. im 26 years old and need to know if its serious. ?

Accepted Answer

Polycystic Ovaries: Polycystic ovarine syndrome is a syndrome associated with excess androgens and that is where your acne is coming from. There is an association with insulin resistance too and that is why many women with polycytic ovarian syndrome are over weight. Have a visit with your doctor or gynecologist this is a problem that can be controlled.

Question 3

i have a pimple on my breast that has pus, is this cancerous?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: This would be an unlikely presentation for breast cancer, particularly at your age.  It is most likely just a pimple, an infected cyst, or possibly a small abscess.  However, if there is a persistent mass that doesn't go away, excising it might help take care of it as well as rule out some form of cancer.
