- Bacteria can enter through a crack in the skin of the breast or on the nipple. The resulting infection, called mastitis, invades the fatty tissue of the breast, leading to swelling and pressure on the milk ducts. An abscess is a hollow space in the breast that becomes filled with pus from the infected milk ducts. A breast abscess can develop in the presence of severe mastitis. Breast infection can affect all women but occurs most often in women who are breastfeeding. A small percentage, 2% to 3%, of breastfeeding (lactating) women typically experience mastitis. In lactating women, an abscess can be successfully treated with antibiotics, but usually also requires surgical drainage.
