BREAST APSCESS

This is painful collection of pus in the breast. The collection is formed under the skin and it’s caused by bacterial infection.
Usually the breast abscess is characterized with:
-redness
-warmness
-swelling of the surrounding skin
-fever
Mastitis is often linked to breast abscesses. Mastitis is a condition with brast pain and inflammation, usually at women that are breastfeeding. Mastitis that is left untreated can result in an abscess forming. White blood cells are sent to attack the infection which causs tissue at the site of the infection to die. This creates a small, hollow area that fills with pus (an abscess).
