Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Red swollen lump what you are suggesting to be experiencing in the breast appears to be 'breast abscess'.
It needs to be drained surgically. Besides it, you also need to undergo alternate day dressing along with intake of a course of oral antibiotics and analgesic medication. It might take about a week to ten days for complete resolution.
Kindly consult Surgeon promptly in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best and wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
