Hello,

Boils are normal and relatively common. They come about when a hair follicle or sweat gland becomes infected.

Under and between your breasts can be an area where the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus can affect your hair follicles or sweat glands.

Under no circumstances should you ever pop or squeeze a boil at home. This can cause additional infection and can result in scarring.

Frequently, a boil will open and drain on its own if it’s treated correctly. Boils need to have pus removed in order to heal.

In order for your boil to drain, use a warm compress a few times a day to bring the pus to the surface. It’ll eventually open and start draining on its own.

A combination of Cefixime and Clavulanate works very well in these conditions. Please consult your nearby doctor if condition persists.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
