One kind of mastitis is plasma cell mastitis, which has a sudden onset and rapid development. The patient feels local pain and discomfort in the breast and can feel the lump. The mass is located under the areola or extends to the quadrant. The lump is hard and tough. The surface is nodular, the boundary is unclear, and there is no adhesion with the chest wall. Some breast skin has edema and orange peel, and generally has no systemic symptoms such as fever. Nipples often have edema and orange peel, and generally have no systemic symptoms such as fever. Nipples often secrete powder and slag-like substances, which have a bad smell. A few patients are accompanied by nipple discharge, which is bloody or watery, and may also be accompanied by axillary lymph node enlargement. The late lump softens and forms an abscess. After the abscess burst, the pus mixed with powder residue flowed out, causing areola fistula, making the wound relapse, gradually scarring, and making the nipple sink into a concave.

I am a patient with plasma cell mastitis. He was treated in Shuguang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has now recovered. I suggest you make a diagnosis as soon as possible. If it is still early, you can take Chinese medicine to cure it.
