Suggest Treatment For Fibrocystic Breast Disease
I have fibrocystic breast disease, but I am now 63 and have went through menopause so I have not had any problems until about a month ago my right breast became inflamed, red and sore. The nipple was inverted, but has been for some time. I had a mammogram and ultrasound last march which showed no signs of cancer. Please help

Thanks for posting to hcm,
As u mentioned there were no signs of cancer even after puckering,that seems that we don't need urgent surgery. So its mostly likely a irritation or infection, so you can take antibiotics like amoxycillin for 7 days and see whether it gets reduced? And try to wash the area with antiinfective creams and try to keep it dry and prevent it from any irritative sources.
Hope it helps
