A member asked:
What could cause recurrent abscesses? i have had an abscess in the same spot under my right breast twice in the past two years. i feel it is coming back again?

Bacteria on the skin under the breast is very common when the breasts are large and pendulous. Sweating in this area exacerbates the problem as well. Keeping the area dry and clean is essential. Recurrent abscesses suggest that the infected area has never fully drained and may need surgical attention by a MD.
