It is very painful and shows signs of black in the middle.MIT has also started to peel. She feels very tired and heavy eyed. What could this be and should she see a doctor or go to a & e
1.Your history seems like a breast abscess with red and pain on touch, tenderness. 2.It needs immediate attention - no need to A&E but see your GP and get an ultrasound breast done. 3.Ultrasound will help in identifying the nature of the lesion its source and extensions ( content of the lesion solid/cystic/mixed) 4.After that if its an abscess - a small incision and drainage might be needed with a course of antibiotics. 5.In case of solid mass FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology might be needed. after the FNAC result needful treatment can be given.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
