Cellulitis is an infection of the skin and underlying tissue caused by bacteria. This condition usually affects the lower half of the breast where sweat and bacteria tend to build up. The skin becomes red, warm, and inflamed, and the rash tends to spread throughout the area.
Mastitis with infection may be lactational (puerperal) or nonlactational (e.g., duct ectasia). Noninfectious mastitis includes idiopathic granulomatous inflammation and other inflammatory conditions (e.g., foreign body reaction). A breast abscess is a localized area of infection with a walled-off collection of pus.
Subareolar abscess is caused by a blockage of the small glands or ducts below the skin of the areola. This blockage leads to infection of the glands. This is an uncommon problem. It affects younger or middle-aged women who are not breastfeeding.
Breast abscesses are most often caused by a bacterial infection. Bacteria enter the breast through small cracks or breaks in the skin of the nipple. This usually occurs as a side effect of breastfeeding.
