    Hey @unknown, great you’re getting a second opinion for peace of mine.

    I can’t say I’ve had that happen – I do get very sore breasts after certain things such as unsupported exercise and during my period. Lumps, bruises and discharge on the breast can happen for lots of reasons – from something common like a knock to the breast causing a bruise, or a pimple, to more serious things.

    If the first GP has said you’re okay, then that’s a good sign – but it’s fine to get a second opinion. Did the first doctor mention what they thought it was?

    Its nothing like that @Aunt_Flo
    Its kinda  only just started and im abit worried  about the lump as its a bruise type colour. 
    Could be a leaking vein- studied medical terms and diseases – so know a little bit

    Im not going back to the other gp  anyway we took my sister there and she got the all clear and when we went to another one they were suspecting whooping cough!!! 

    And no she didnt meantion anything. She just said it could be a range of things but im.sure its fine

    she gave me my swabs back for downstairs and it istnt thrush but some sort of other infection so she gave me antibiotics for it and she checked the lump thing and she said it has burst which is why the symptoms as well. she said its likeley it will happened again but next time it happens as soon as it look the way it did before as in its coming to a point like its going to pop- cover it and try not to pop it and book an urgent appointment and she will do a draining procedure to fully clear it out but as it has already popped she doesnt want to try and drain it as yet as the antibiotics i have might do the trick and destroy both germs in one go. she said becasue im under so much stress my immune system is low so i am abit more susceptable to germs and them getting worse atm.

    Glad to hear the second opinion was worthwhile @unknown

    Do you have anything relaxing to help take your mind off things when you’re feeling stressed?

    Hi @unknown sorry to hear about all your troubles at the gp, sounds frustrating!
    My mum also had a cyst on her breast, from what she told me it sounded really similar! 
    She had antibiotics too and it went away but came back and had to get another course of the medication. She said eventually it just went away on its own and she just makes sure to wash the area really well, especially after exercise and stuff like that to make sure it doesn’t come back. I thought it might help to know that you’re not the only one whos had it 🙂
    Hope it goes well at the doctors!

    Hi @RoseHill and @unknown, a cyst is a fluid filled lump in the breast. It’s usually treated with antibiotics or by a doctor draining the fluid. It’s important not to squeeze these lumps as it makes the infection spread. It’s good that your seeing your doctor today @unknown so she can monitor your progress.

    @unknown sorry to hear it’s still so sore. It’s important to talk to your GP if it’s not improving or it’s getting worse.
