After only three days of a new sore under my breast it has a red streak coming off of it. Oh no, what to do?

I've been off antibotics for a while and don't want to go back on them again so soon. No insurance. Only one working and no time to stop right now. 30 years of HS but under my breast for the last 3. Ouch this one really hurts and it is not even started yet.

I just thought red streaks can't be a good thing.

That's not good. I pray it isn't serious. It may be infected.

I had a very bad one like that on my breast. It was healing and then it did get infected. The underside of my left breast was purple, red and very swollen. I didn't have a lot of pain though.

It took hourly applications of tea tree oil, bandages and hibiclens. I was also taking copious amounts of turmeric and started downing a ton of water.

I've finally got it under control and it's been healing the last month. I wish you the absolute best and a quick recovery.

I agree with Wnic. Tea Tree Oil and Hibiclens. Try to get some Clydamicin or Cipro for antibiotics. I call my family doc and he calls it into walmart, it's cheap there.
Good Luck!

ER. That sounds like blood poisoning. Don't play with that go get it checked before you get really sick.
