A member asked:

Reddish /pink lump on breast with pus. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin boil: This is likely just a skin infection called a boil. Given the redness of the skin and the drainage of pus, it must be seen, drained and you likely need to be on oral antibiotics - call your doctor for an appointment!
