Question: I mistakenly hit my wright breast on the door andle after the fourth day of stopping my baby for breastfeeding and place as small small lump with little pain after 3weeks doctor said its mastitis and gave me antibiotics but it not devolving please what is the cause and cure
Answer: Hi 

Mastitis is a possible diagnosis but unlikely on account of the history of blunt trauma to the breast The lumps you are feeling are possibly hematomas which are blood collections under the skin from the injury sustained 

Hematomas usually resolve on their own but that can take some time up to 46 six weeks My advice is that you visit your doctor again after 4 weeks if it hasnt resolved The antibiotics will help to prevent an infection 

Also you will benefit from a breast ultrasound to makeconfirm the diagnosis and rule out any underlying issues 

Cheers
