A member asked:
Can a breast abscess on the nipple cause the skin around the nipple thickens? i think its called the areola . thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes scarring follows the inflammation associated with an abscess. This would result in thickening of the involved tissue. In time the thickening often recedes.
