I’m confused as to what on earth this is. It’s absolutely huge.I’ve been breastfeeding and I’m not sure if it’s related? It did pop lastnight and it’s left a literal hole in my areola.
Is it even safe to pump with it like this? Sorry about the gross pic

Does it bleed?
When I was fairly new at breastfeeding mine would bleed 🙈😢and I kept breastfeeding and it went ok
Yeah! I popped it and blood and pus came out now there’s just a saggy hole🤣🤣

Ouch! Looks like it was maybe a blocked duct? Does milk come out of it at all? How big is it? It does look pretty big though. I'd maybe get a second opinion from the midwife, HV or GP. I had a milk bleb right on the edge of my areola and I just popped it in the shower and kept milking it until there was no more pus or blood, then it dried up in a couple of days. If pus/blood is coming out of it when you pump I'd probably mainly focus on the other breast until it's either stopped weeping or has milk coming through
I don’t think milk comes out of it, I haven’t pumped since it came out. I popped baby on my chest and it just came out pretty instantly. It has dried up now x

Is it right on the actual teat?
it’s just over a cm away from my actual nipple. It’s on the areola. Where my fingers are in the picture is where my nipple is.
they have only come out really bad on the breast his favourited x

It looks pretty similar to how mine looked. Maybe when you're in the shower have a good go at it to make sure it's all cleared. But otherwise I'd just keep feeding as normal and keep an eye on it
