Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

Could this soreness, redness, and pus discharge from just one of my nipples indicate a serious issue, especially considering the intense pain I'm experiencing?

 

Answered by Dr. Mini Sood

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Avoid Squeezing: Refrain from squeezing the nipple further as it may exacerbate the problem or spread any potential infection.

 

Maintain Hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation or infection.

 

Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on any changes in the affected area, such as increasing redness, swelling, or pain, and report them to your healthcare provider.

 

Thanks
