There shouldn't be any abscess on the breast at all.

If you have an abscess, then go and see your doctor.  

If your abscess is coming back in the same place, it is likely that the root is still there.  The root of the abscess must be removed for it to stop festering and coming back.

Your doctor will be able to prescribe an antibiotic to kill the infection and possibly drain the abscess and get the root out.  You could also get a drawing ointment, but this can only be used on unbroken skin.

Best wishes

Are you saying that you develop a pimple on your breast in the same place on a regular basis?  If so, I don't think it's dangerous or abnormal, as I have pimples that like to pop up in certain places, too.  If it is bothersome, or the pimple is very large, please see your doctor.  Blessings - Blu

Hi lildeb349,

If you have an abscess in either of your breasts, you need to make
an appointment with your family doctor as soon as possible.
Any kind of infection is worrisome. Please, makie an appointment immediately with your doctor and have a doctor look at it, them ?
Blessings, Eve
