I have 3 bumps (I dont know what else to call them) on my breasts. They are about the size of the end of my finger and are filled with puss and scabbed over and red and swollen. They are painful at times. They hurt to touch.
I have never had anything like these before.
Any clue as to what they are?????????
I went to the doctor today for my DS (he has another ear infection) and while I was there I asked her to look at them. She looked BRIEFLY and said it isn't normal, it looks like some sort of skin infection, maybe it has something to do with your horomones and the PCOS. And then she left.
Needless to say, that didn't really help.
Does anyone know what these are?
Does anyone else get these?
What can I do to get rid of them?

I have gotten "cysts" like that before especially if they are in a place where doesn't get a lot of air. I know that hurt like the dickens!!!! Even just looking at them wrong sends me into orbit. I just let the air get to them if possible. Are they warm to the touch?

Yes, they are warm to the touch.
And red and inflammed looking.
And there is pus in them and sometimes they leak clear liquid.
And they are scabbed over as if something is scraping them open.
It started with one and then i got one on the other breast and then I got a second one on the first breast.
What can I do about them?

I had something similar to that on my neck. It was a cyst and they surgically removed it last week. They said if they didn't it would just fill back up and popping them can lead to a staph infection. It may not be the same thing at all, but I thought I'd volunteer that information because I had already gotten an infection in it without popping it.
It could be HS. I've just been doing research on this and what you're describing sounds a lot like what I'm dealing with. After some research, it seems it's often found in PCOS patients.
You have to go to a REAL doctor and get them checked out. Whatever they are, you should never accept someone saying "not normal" and leaving it at that. Take control of your health and demand answers!
My vote is for HS as well, as I have these both on my groin and under my breasts.
Don't know what to do about them, but an antibiotic probably will clear it up, but after a while you'll just be immune to the antibiotic...
Wish I could help more, these things SUCK the worst about PCOS!
