Hi,

Welcome to HCM!

Well, first of all, I'd strongly advice you to visit a surgeon and get it examined and investigated.

Bump with pus might be a breast abscess (infection) or there's a chance of it being a tumour (benign or malignant). Hence, I'd strongly advice you to visit a surgeon.

If it only an infection, you will need to take a course of antibiotics plus aspiration of pus. That should suffice along with regular dressing.

Painkillers like Diclofenac may be taken to get relief from pain.

Hope this information helps. Please do pay a visit to a surgeon at the earliest to get the bump examined.

Wishing you the best.
With regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
