A member asked:
I get recurrent boils or cysts on both of my breasts. they were cultured by dermatologist and turned up nothing. what else could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Boils: It's likely just that. You may need to use special antibiotic washes or acne washes to prevent them from occuring. Also, many women don't wear bras that fit well and the rubbing of the bra material might leading to hair follicle infections on the breasts.
