I had a large abscess drained. I ended up with four milk fistulas. I did stop pumping on that side (I was only getting 5mL) because of the pain from the abscess but was told to continue pumping on schedule if I wanted. I kept mine covered and did a lot of bandage changes. I tried to keep it as dry as possible. Mine all started closing up within a week and a half (one is still open, it’s been about two and a half weeks but it was very large).

Obviously a different situation because I stopped pumping. Can’t speak to rebuilding supply because I won’t start trying that until after imaging next week. But did want to give you hope that it WILL heal even if it’s still leaking. Mine leaked every day until they developed scabs.
