Suggest Treatment For Cysts Around Breasts

Posted on Fri, 21 Aug 2015

Question: im 18 and for the past few years(3-5) I've had small cysts under my breasts, under my arms and between my breasts. I have large pores on both breasts as well. I have pcos and I'm wondering if any of those could be caused by the hormonal changes from that?

no, I'm not having any swelling at the moment. it seems like the longer I go without a period the less they appear. I do have a few small bumps/whiteheads inside of the large pores. when I do get them, they tend to hurt around an inch diameter around it. my mother had a breast cancer scare along with ovarian cancer scare. my grandmother has lung cancer and my dad had colon cancer in which he passed away from. I only have periods every few months but around that time that I'm supposed to get them, the pores in my breast do get a little larger.

Brief Answer:
It might be cellulitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi there
good day.
thanks for quick info.
I am very happy to know that you don't have any swelling.
After analyzing your description, this condition looks like folliculitis or sabecious cyst.
it needs physical examination to differentiate both of them.
in patrons having PCOS there will be increased levea of androgens.
this androgens are main culprits for this kind of cystic swelling.
this is a self limiting condition please don't worry much about them.
some times this cysts tends to get infected and may cause painful purulent secreation.

in case you feel it's very much disturbing you can consut a dermatologist.

This problem will be cleared once your Pcos stars regressing.

Hope I am able to answer your query

feel free to discuss further
