I don't have a PCP in the area (just moved here). Do people go to urgent care for this?


Definitely go to urgent care, or you might end up in the ER.

Yes, definitely go to urgent care if you're worried it's mastitis, it can progress quickly and you don't want to get it to the stage of needing to get drained.
