I'm a new mummy and have been bfding my daughter for 4 weeks now but soon after birth I noticed a lump under my armpit. Strangely enough I can even squeeze it and I think a small ammount of milk will come out of the pores. I have been massaging it in the shower, football hold, expressing, bfding every two hours at times but the lump/blocked duct won't go down!

Is this something that is common and goes away after I cease nursing or if not emptied can it turn into something serious? I went to my dr 4 weeks ago (not my regular lady dr) and he was telling me horror stories of breast cancer and gave me antibiotics that did zip, my mw said it is definately likely a blocked duct.

Thanks
