It has no relation to the cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

An abscess is a pus-filled hollow space that can appear on the skin or inside the body!. Most abscesses form just under the skin and are the result of a bacterial infection!. The infection causes the immune system to activate white blood cells and chemicals to fight the bacteria!.

Breast abscesses can affect women between the age of 18 and 50, but they are very uncommon in women who are not producing milk!. When breastfeeding, the nipples sometimes become cracked, which allows bacteria to enter, and may cause an infection!. A breast infection can lead to the development of an abscess!.

During breastfeeding, the suckling from the baby may cause the nipples to become tender and raw (this is called abrasion)!. It is normal for the breasts to feel tender during breastfeeding, but you should consult your GP straightaway if you have heat or pain in either breast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I really could not say, but if there are concerns then the person concerned should get back to the GP as soon as possible!.!.!.!.
