My 27-year-old daughter has extremely large breasts and has been breastfeeding her daughter for the last 22 months. She is prone to boils on her breasts, which she picks at, causing concern for breast cancer. She is not using any medications due to breastfeeding. What could be causing these boils, and what can she do to treat them safely while breastfeeding?

The boils on your daughter's breasts are likely due to bacterial skin infections, not breast cancer....
