A member asked:
Swollen nipple for 5 days and a hard area on 1/6 of the breast refusing to budge - is this mastitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mastitis?: Mastitis can occur any time in adult females, but is more common if nursing is concurrent. Sometimes antibiotics are necessary, so if this continues, see your healthcare provider for an exam and treatment.
