Subareolar abscesses are treated with antibiotics and by opening and draining the infected tissue. This can be done in a physician's office with local anesthesia. However, if the abscess recurs, the affected glands should be surgically removed.
Prognosis is good after surgical treatment.
Subareolar abscesses tend to recur until the affected glands are surgically removed.
Contact your health care provider if you develop a painful lump under the nipple or areola.
