How long does breast lumpiness associated with breast abscess last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4-6 weeks: Once the abscess is treated (drainage and antibiotics), there can be residual lumpiness that is inflammed tissue. This can take at least 4-6 weeks to resolve and feel like "normal" lumpy breast tissue.
