A member asked:

Breast tender and hurts. has abcess inside and leaking green pus and blood. will i be ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doc!: Any abscess needs to be properly treated to prevent serious complications. A breast abscess can be particularly dangerous because of its proximity to important things like your heart and lungs as well as potentially endangering your ability to lactate. See your doc right away!

How would a small breast abscess be treated? It drained a little but theres still pus in it. Its small in size. Would a needle be used or would it be cut? My primary care doc handles these. She was hoping it would drain on its own. Thanks?
