Bad day in boobland. Yesterday, my face and R breast developed a handful of pimples -- a cyst on my chin, a few whiteheads on the bridge of my nose, and a pimple on my areola. Okay, I break out now and then, nothing unusual, I popped the cyst on my chin, used my exfoliant (CeraVe -- cheap and reliable), and tried to pop the one on my areola to no avail. I figured it was a deep cyst and wasn't "ready" to pop, right? Not so.
This morning, I wake up with redness and pain surrounding the "pimple," which does not appear to be getting ready to pop, and actually looks like mastitis, complete with a red streak extending towards the armpit! I think this is probably from my massage oil, or massaging, generally. Can't think of any other reason my boob would have an infection. And, of note, I always massage in the shower, with clean hands. My massage oil is probably two months old at this point and ready to be switched out for a new vial, maybe that was the start of the issue?
Ugh. Regardless, I have work today, but I applied tea tree oil to the offending area and to the chin cyst, ate a clove of garlic, and will pray for a reduction in swelling. If not, to the doctor's I go tomorrow (day off).
I'm just going to take the rest of this cycle off from massage and estrogenic herbs and focus on the antiandrogens and nutrition. My boobs have also lost the perkiness and a bit of upper pole growth/swelling that they had, and look like they did prior to starting the herbs. Coming in at:
27" Band/Underbust
32.5" Bust
32.75" Top Bust
