Red mark on breast

Cathyr1003 · February 2012

I am breastpumping. The other day i noticed what looked like a bite on the side of my breast (about an inch away from my nipple). The area is now red around it and it is sore. Almost looks like a spider bite. Could this be from breastpumping? I am nervous that it could be mastitis? I dont have a fever or any other symptoms.

Probably a clogged duct - pump/feed on that side as much as possible and try some stuff from here:

Mastitis is usually is a large warm red area on the breast. You will also have flu like symptoms and a fever. Trust me you will really know if you have it, it is no fun at all.
