OB or General Practitioner?

If I need to see a doctor for breast health (I have a milk blister from nursing my 9 month old daughter that isn't going away and is causing a blocked duct) should I go to my primary care physician or my OBGYN?

I would go with the OBGYN. They have more expertise than a general practitioner. General practioners are good for basic health problems, but OBGYN's deal with all aspects of women's health.

I think OB/GYN handles all aspects of women's reproductive health, including breasts.

Either doc can handle your general needs like this. I don't see a GYN doc unless my regular doc refers me to one as something is out of his league.

Go to your OBGYN they are used to handling these situations and can quickly identify and treat it.

I would try the OBGYN

I would recommend your OB/GYN for this issue.
