A member asked:

My right breast is sore and tender and it hurst to touch , what might this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast soreness: If the breast is reddened and warm it would suggest mastitis due to infection. Is there any sign of a bruise? Otherwise there could be congestion from blocked duct or growths. Apply warm compresses and see your md for evaluation.
