Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

The staphylococcus is a commonest bacterial infection occurring in breast feeding female but in your case it is staphylococcus or any other infection it is not confirmed without proper examination.

You should consult a gynecologist for proper examination and treatment of your problem.

Hope I have answered your query If you have further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards,
Dr.Richa
