I thought that this lump would go away but it hasnt. It s hard and painless. It is about the size of a golf ball. I. This same location in this breast I ve also experienced mastitis several times. I m very concerned. Should I treat this as a clogged duct or should I see a doctor. I do not have isurance.
Welcome to our website. From your description, you could be suffering from a chronic or partially treated Breast abscess, as you said you have had mastitis a number of times. However, I strongly advise you to visit a doctor at the earliest to rule out the possibility of cancer, as the lump is painless and hard.  Abscess are not painless and hard in most casein any case, you do not need to discontinue to feed because of this. Followup if you need to.
