A member asked:

Breast cyst popped like a pimple would. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Cynthia Palabrica answered

Cyst: Your breast is covered with skin and therefore skin issues will occur. As long as the area is not red, firm, painful, it was most likely a sebaceous cyst.

Dr Krishnamurthy and another doctor agreed
