Posted on Wed, 28 Dec 2016
Question: My dog jumped on my breast 1 1/2 weeks ago and that night my breast started hurting. no bruises or lumpes or redness. My aerola is a bit sore to the touch, but nothing that feels deep. I keep donig a self exam to make sure. It almost feels like its surface irritated. When does this go away or should I be concerned? It was fine before he pounced on my breast. Thanks

Brief Answer:
You should use anti inflammatory tablets.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like skin over the areola got injured leading to pain.
Avoid warm compresses.
Now a days,Evening Primrose oil has no role in breast pain.
I prescribe Anti inflammatory tablet twice daily after food to my patients with similar complaints.
It will subside within 5 to 7 days.
Nothing to worry.
Please consult your doctor and get appropriate prescription.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
