Hello and welcome to HCM,
Recurrence of a boil in the breasts could be inadequate treatment of the infectious focus.
A breast cancer does not recur in this fashion.
However, a clinical assessment of he lesion is required to assess the site, its character and extent.
Surgical excision followed by histopathological examination may be required to find out the exact cause of the lesion.
Thanks and take care
