Blister on Breast

I found a blister on my breast that looks similar to a burn blister.  I drained the clear fluid from it but it has filled up again.  It was about the size of a pencil eraser and not red at first, but since I drained it, it has become red around the edges.  I made an appointment with my OB-GYN, but an still concerned.  Can anyone tell me if this can be cancerous?

I had a blister on my breast, googled symptoms and freaked out when reading about IBC. Went to my doc and she said it was just a regular staph skin infection and it had already started healing, no underlying breast condition. If you have no other symptoms like inverted nipples, thickening of skin, orange peel, redness on more than one-third of the breast, it most likely will just be a superficial skin infection.

Hi,
If the lump on your breast resembles a fluid-filled bubble on the skin, it may be a blood blister,but it's very hard to say what this could be,over the internet....If the blister is close to the nipple,or you noticed a lump or nipple discharge this could be a breast problem,but it's very uncommon that a fluid-filled lump on the surface of the breast will be cancerous.It's a good thing though that you are having this blister checked out by your doctor,just to make sure.
All the best...
