Patient: Woke Up A Couple Days Ago, NoticeD My Nipple Was Tender. HurT And Burned Like When I Shave TheM And Cut It. But I Haven't Shaved TheM In Months. JustThe Rubbing Of My Shirt Would Be Painful. Last Night I Finally Looked At It And Realized My Nipple Was ThreE Times The Normal Size I Squeezed It And WhitE Pus Came Out Like When You Pop A Zit. FollowEd By Clear Liquid Then Blood. I Just Looked And Its Still The Same. Popped It Again Same Thing As Before Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in.It appears that you are having a sub areolar abscess (nipple abscess). It is due to acute infection and usually of bacterial origin. I suggest that you consult your doctor and get pus culture and sensitivity test done. This will identify the organism causing infection and the desirable antibiotic to be taken to kill the bacteria. You may also apply antiseptic ointment and take oral pain killers for pain management.
