I REALLY NEED AN ANSWER LADIES!!!!! ?!
Question: I REALLY NEED AN ANSWER LADIES!!!!! .?
Ok, just recently I had posted a couple of question about a rather large, extremely painful, puss filled bump on my right aureole above the nipple.... Well the bump had wound up popping and inevitably "oozed" puss. When the puss stopped and it started to look like it was healing i thought nothing more of it, until now that is. I have been trying to tell myself its nothing but I now have a dime sized hard mass under the spot from the bump....... I am really starting to freak out because every one said "No, No, No, Its not Cancer..." but hell I have a hard mass under my nipple now!! By the way I have no insurance, so therefore I can't go to the doctor. : ( Does anyone have an honest answer for me.? Please.? I'd really appreciate it.....Thanks!Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Are you breastfeeding.? If you are this could be mastitis which can be very dangerous if not treated.
If you're sure the lump is part of the boil on your skin it may just be a nodular pimple under the skin. You could try drawing it out with moist heat and/or using benzolperoxide (drying zit medicine) on the area for a few days.
Is it red, hot or tender to the touch.? If it is that is a sign of infection.
If you have a bad feeling about this or if it doesn't go away pay out of pocket and go to a doctor. If you are low income your county health department should offer or refer for a free or income-based clinic.Health Question & Answer

It sounds like you need to go to a doctor. There are no free clinics.?
But I mean, maybe it sounds like it could be an infected pore or something. Have you tried putting antibiotic ointment on it.? For cuts, etc.? Did the bump start out really small at first.?
It does not sound like cancer.Health Question & Answer
