<unk> s do not require treatment unless a<unk>  is large and painful or otherwise uncomfortable. In that case, draining the fluid from a<unk>  can ease symptoms. Nipple<unk> s (commonly duct infections) may benefit from a hot compress to draw out the pus and antibacterial cream. These infected ducts typically clear up within a few days. Typical treatment involves a Needle aspiration biopsy which is typically done with a 10 cc syringe attached to a fine needle aspiration needle. Fine needle aspiration allows retrieval of cytological samples that can be sent for pathological review to determine if the<unk>  is benign or malignant. Aspirated<unk> s often recur (come back); definitive treatment may require surgery. During an excisional biopsy an incision is made around the mass creating a superior and inferior flap. The mass is dissected out followed by confirmation of hemostasis. Once hemostasis is confirmed the wound is closed with an absorbable suture. The mass is then sent to pathology for review. Pathology can help determine if the surgeon needs to dissect a bigger margin. Draining the fluid and then waiting for the<unk>  to resolve is the main treatment applied in these cases. Moreover, if<unk> s are aspirated and the fluid looks normal, they do not require any other medical attention apart from following-up to make sure they have completely disappeared. Hormone therapy, by the means of oral contraceptives, is sometimes prescribed to reduce their recurrence and to regulate the menstrual cycle of the patient (which is likely to cause them in the first place). Danazol may also be prescribed to treat this condition and it is usually considered in patients on whom the non-medical treatment fails and the symptoms are intense. Surgical removal of a<unk>  is necessary only in a few unusual circumstances. If an uncomfortable<unk>  recurs month after month, or if a<unk>  contains blood-tinged fluid and displays other worrisome signs, surgery may be considered.
