Boils on breasts?

I've had these sores/boils on my breasts now for about 2 weeks, I only have 2 on each breast at the moment, I went to the doctors and have been referred to the dermatologist. I have hidradenitis suppurativa under my armpits and groin area and I thought it could be that spreading onto my breast but I'm not so sure as HS is thought to be caused by a trapped hair folicule but I've never really had hair on my breasts, Any ideas? These pictures were all taken within this week.

    Oww!  I take it the pictures are after they had [been] burst?  If not they do not really look like boils as teh discharge would be pus = yellow. 

    I think the dermatologist is the right way to go.  Did you get antibiotics too\?

    Hi Amilee, you say you have hidradenitis suppurativa.  Have you looked at the leaflet from the BAD site?  It suggests that it may be what you have on your breasts too.  I'll post the link after this post.

    Presumably you are already seeing a Dermatologist for that condition.  Could you not just ring your Consultant's secretary and say you have new lesions on your breasts?  You should then get a much faster appointment.
