Suggest Treatment For Pus Filled Pimple On The Breast

2 days I had a couple pimples on my right breast that I popped yesterday morning they had a little puss so I put anitibiotic ointment on them. Last night I took off my bra and got worried because they had a couple of tiny red lines from them and look a little irratated so I cleaned them put more ointment on them. This am they looked cleared up more and tiny lines not visible. Do I need to see a doc if the lines went away? Can these things clear up on their own without treatment?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, this won't clear by its own. You should definitely consult doctor and get done clinical examination of breasts.
Possibility of breast abscess is more.
So also get done mamosonpgraphy of the breast.
If it shows breast abscess then you will need antibiotic and other supportive drugs.
Also rule out diabetes as breast abscess is common in diabetes.
So consult doctor and discuss all these.
Don't wait at home otherwise it will flare up.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
