Brief Answer:
It is a complication of lactation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The patient has a breast abscess- a collection of pus in the breast which is caused by methicillin resistant bacteria. The only treatment is drainage of pus, cleaning and dressing the wound every alternate day and start with heavy broad spectrum antibiotics to control the infection. She can continue the breast feeding from the other breast and regularly express milk from the affected breast.
The abscess in breast usually forms due to lactation- due to collection of milk inside the breast that becomes infected. It is an infection that happens during lactation.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
