I have what looks like to be an infected cyst on my breast. I have had it drained once about two years ago; it was not a pleasant experience. The results came back non-cancerous. It is infected again and I know it must be drained but it was no a pleasant experience. The most pain I have ever experienced. Can I try to drain it by puncturing it like a pimple? Should I be concerned and see a doctor immediately to drain it?
