Breast cyst
I am breastfeeding for the past 4 months. I had breast abscess a month ago and that's healed. In the same breast I have harden mass near areola( not painful). My gynecologist said it may resolve when we breastfeed, but it's not resolving. I consulted a general surgeon, he asked me to do a FNAC ( Report says "Retention cyst inflamed"). Surgeon had given antibiotics, but still it's not resolved. Surgeon is saying will wait until the cyst is painful or I get fever. Kindly suggest
