I have a mammary gland that appears to be infected. It has a swollen red spot around the area and is both swollen and warm.

If you have a swollen and red area on your breast that is painful, it may be a sign of an infection. Taking Tylenol can help with the pain, and applying a cold compress or ice pack for 10 minutes at a time can also provide relief. However, if the pain, redness, or swelling continues or gets worse, or if you develop a fever or other symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider promptly.
