hi!

I wrote a few days ago but I'm still very disturbed and restless, even my doctor thinks that I am crazy and exaggerating.

Almost two months ago I noticed my bulging nipple and my left breast became red and swollen. In that same breast 5 years ago I had a biopsy by a nodule that turned out to be an abscess, but at that time I only felt the lump, I had no redness, swollenor pain.

two months ago the sonography only revealed the formation of a possible abscess. the doctor did not want to do the biopsy and prescribed antibiotics. One month later, when i did not see absolute improvement, I went to another doctor who did the biopsy that only revealed inflammation and proliferation of epithelial cells without atypia. the doctor told me that this corresponded to an abscess and an infection.

Two months later my breast is still a little swollen, the redness is almost completely gone, but my aerola is much darker than the right breast and I feel like the famous orange peel is coming out ( nobody in my family see, only me)

The biopsy was done to me where the abscess was, by puncture and it has gotten into my head that since I did not have it on my skin, maybe that's why you do not see the IBC or anything malignant.

I do not know if I'm going crazy or if I should continue to insist even after a negative biopsy.

    so an abcess can “refill” after treatment. You may need to go back and have another ultrasound done to verify. If it is another abcess you may need it removed or a longer round of treatment with a broader spectrum antibiotic and perhaps have the abcess drained. If you think your skin is starting to look like the orange peel, you can always go see a dermatologist who can do a punch biopsy at that 1st visit if they concur with the skin changes. Good luck!🍀
