Pimple under my right breast

I'm 32 and have size 34C's.For several months now I've been getting very big pimples,or boils under and around my breasts,mostly the right side.They pop and end up leaving holes and turn purple as well.Keeping the area very clean(bathing at least once a day or more)helps tremendously in healing and preventing more from coming.Hope this helps,especially for you younger girls,it can be scary but they're just caused from stress,heat,hormones,etc. and they will go away but keep it clean and dry.

Jessika 3 years is a long time and especially if they are very painful you should go see a doctor sometimes bumps are cancerous so just to be safe you should go.

Same thing happens to me all the time eventually they heal and the blue/purple goes away but it takes months :(  I've gone to dermatologist and they said there is really nothing i can do.  its a icky pimple from sweat.  The hole faze is scary but keep it clean with alcohol and use Neosporin if you want.  I was told not to cover it with a band aid to let it air out and it will heal faster. so run around topless ;) j/k I’m 31 so mine are a bit saggy so I find it best to lay topless on my back and try and sleep that way. Good luck!

Oh and by the way don’t worry about making out with boys just say hey I got a pimple they wont care they will just be happy to be at 2nd base.  And you can say it’s ugly because the skin on your boobs are thin and a lot different then your face and that’s why it looks like it does J

I'm 15, I don't have too large of breasts (38C) but Where I live it gets really hot in the summer so it's a bit hard not to sweat, I have had multiple oversized pimples(or boils) on my back, under my breasts, on my thighs, one under my arm and one on my breast.  The ones on my back were the worst, so I went to my family care doctor to get something for it, and He gave my some antibiotics, and my dermatologist got me some acne cream and acne body wash. It works great, so you should see your doctor about it (:

This sounds like an abscessed, If so you would need to have it checked. I went to the ER with mine and they lanced it, packed it and gave me an antibiotic.

Yes, I also find that tanning beds really improve my skin in regards to pimples and boils that is...They say tanning is not good for you and causes cancer. yet for me it clears up all my blemishes and I don't go overboard and burn myself.

I have a pimple like red thing under my left breast. I am also big breasted. The reason for this is because we sweat and it feels like an ingrown hair growth ouch and that hurts especially when we wear wired bras. I have been used salt and water every night before I go to bed. I dry it and then put an antibiotic cream on it. Since I did that, it created a hole and blood etc was coming out. Sounds like of gross but if you keep treated it like that, it will get better. Make sure your breasts are dry at all times. Hope this helps

I AGREE this is more serious than a pimple. I get boils on my breast too. but what you are describing is a litle more. It should NOT hurt to run water over it at all and the bleeding should not occur like that. Anything that wakes you up out of deep sleep is a definite problems and sign that it needs to be checked. Don't be embarrassed I'll bet every woman gets a boil on breast sometime in life. This is very common. doctors see it all the time. Always know that you can never gross out a doctor...odds are they've seen worse. GO GET CHECKED GIRL.

i have had mrsa.. on my breast.. within 2 days it went from a dot to the size of a oreo cookie.. i went to the doctor, went on antiobiotics and placed hot compresses on it twice daily along with antiobiotic cream.. also cleaned it well with peroxcide as often as possible. went to the doctors office every other day for 3 weeks.. thankfully all healed.. yet, i had a terrible scar.. took years to heal..5 to be exact.. the pain was horrible,, first sign was itchiness... please be soo careful.. whenever something isn't right..go to the doctor immediately!!! sooo glad i did!

I'm sorry but telling someone "its just a boil, no big deal you can live with it" is just wrong. And No, NEVER squeeze a boil, that is bad advice. And if you have had one for 17 years then you really should have that looked at. You may have a staff infection or something worse. You should use warm compresses for 15 minutes at a time 3 to 4 times a day until it burst. I only had to use the compress once and it burst. Depending on the size it may seep for some time. keep the area very clean and dry and let air get to it when you can. Keep a sterile bandage (Telfa Pads are the best and Dr recommended) on it while it seeps and whenever you are not just letting it air. It will take some time for this to heal and go away. If it does not heal after 10 to 14 days, keeps coming back or if you see red lines coming from it seek medical attention. ..... Ohio Nurse

These holes that come after boils sound like hidradenitis. Look it up for treatment options.

So after many horrible pimple type things later. Found out it's from Hormones and because I stopped taking birth control! This might be your issue as well. See your gyno! I also have PCOS big symptom is cystic acne! So 5+ years I have been suffering and it's al because I stopped taking birth control!!
