A member asked:

I am exclusively breastfeeding my 5 months old baby since last feeling i m having a painful red spot inside the skin of my breast is it ok to feed him?

Usually: If the painful spot is not an ulcer, it is ok, but you should follow this spot. If it increases, stays painful, or you develop fever, please see a practitioner to eval for possible breast infections (mastitis).

Yes: But don't forget to see your doctor as usual for any problems related to breast masses or breast-cancer.
