Lump in breast
Hi
I noticed a lump in my right breast today. I'm a breast feeding mother to a six month old baby. The lump moves upon touching and is slightly painful. I tried pumping my milk but it is still there.
What could be the reason?
What is the solution?

Could be a galactocele
Common in breast feeding woman
If it's too big and painful, will need drainage
Or antibiotics will do
If too painful avoid breast feeding from that breast and express out milk
