What Causes Boil Like Lump With Discharge On The Breast?

I have what I believe is a boil on my left breast that continues to leak a discharge that is milky and has a slight odor. I have covered it with a patch of cotton but not sure if I should put anything else on it. This has been going on for a few weeks.

Hi,
Having non healing boil like wound since long requires evaluation of of your case.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
If require he will go for mammogram to rule out any pathology in the breast.
Go for regular dressing by your doctor only.
Ok and take care.
