Should I Meet A Doctor For The Lump Near Nipple In Which Pus Is Oozing After Squeezing?
Hi, i just noticed a lump right next to my nipple, i noticed it had a greeny underlay so squeezed and puss came out, it was a light green substance. Quite painful, even more so now i squeezed the excess puss out (it started to bleed so i stopped then) do you think i need to seek medical advice?
