A member asked:
If had a breast abscess and it's clearing up, why do i have a constant sharp pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe healing: Sometimes, after an infection or maybe you had an incision and drainage of the abscess, there can be pain while healing. Once healing begins, nerve fibers in the area can sometimes be hypersensitive for a short time. You should also see your doctor to be sure that the infection is not recurring, causing you more pain.
