Summary

This study tests whether adding a special light treatment (methylene blue photodynamic therapy) to standard drainage can help breast abscesses heal faster. About 50 adults with breast abscesses will be split into two groups: one gets standard care alone, the other gets standard care plus the light treatment. The main goal is to see how quickly symptoms like pain and fever go away.
