Inflamed Breast due to Mother's Milk? Posted: 10-18-07 00:00am
Inflamed breast can occur after childbirth
in breast feeding women, especially with
the first child. An accumulation of
mother's milk blocks the flow out of the
breast. This causes the nipple to crack
and become infected. An abscess can
result. The skin in the area becomes red
and the lymph nodes in the arm pit on the
same side as the affected breast swell
greatly. Some women have chills and
fever.
