Yes, please see doc: Yes, you should call and likely see your doctor. If they think there is mastitis or skin infection, they may prescribe an antibiotic. Other causes of redness could be an irritation or a yeast infection. So, it is important to be seen to properly evaluate this and get you the proper treatment.
