Patient's question:
Galactoceles, 4 days ago I had a puncture, only a small amount of milk was extracted, and there was still a milk clot. Now, when I touch the cyst, it hurts, and it's noticeably larger than before. I think it's swollen. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication and just said to apply heat. Is this normal? Should I get medication or go for a follow-up? I'm still breastfeeding! The photo was taken yesterday.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Based on your description, there is a high possibility of a cyst. Timely anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary. Suggestions: Prevent the spread of infection.1. It may be due to unstable endocrine, leading to increased secretion of sebaceous glands, causing blockage of hair follicles. In cases of secondary infection, cyst symptoms may appear. If not properly cared for, the infection may worsen, resulting in the formation of lumps.
2. Oral administration of appropriate antibiotics is recommended.
3. Avoid touching the area and keep it dry. Use povidone-iodine for local disinfection.
