Hi, I have five months old baby and now I have red streaks on my breast. Is it relate to breastfeeding or it is manifestation of some other disease?

Hi, I suffer pain when I breastfeed my baby and sometimes these red marks occur on one or both breasts. I was told that some pain, 30 to 60 seconds of pain is normal but then the pain should subside. It turned out that I had mastitis, an infection of milk ducts. My breasts were sore and I had fever and red streaks on my breast. Then I was prescribed an antibiotic therapy to treat it, and I couldn’t breastfeed for some time. You may also have a yeast (or thrush) infection, as this is manifested by red streaks. Go to see your doctor and determine real cause of disorder, so you can get back to normal state.
