Lump in breast infection
Common Questions and Answers about Lump in breast infection
lump
Hi. From your description, that lump in your armpit may be a form of skin infection (cellulitis). This can happen if breaks in the skin of the armpit occur when you shave or pluck your armpit hairs. That stinging sensation may come from such a break in the skin. If there is an infection, there may also be lymph nodes adjacent to the area, which may also account for the lump you feel. It might be best for you to consult with a doctor so you can be given appropriate antibiotics.
i am a guy. but i there's a small lump in my right areola(??) sometimes it's painful when touch. do men get breast cancer? ... will the lump eventually disappear or need to be surgically removed.
i appreciate any professional opinions.
I had a lump in my right breast, then I went to a surgeon he felt the lump and drained some fluids from the lump,then told me he was going to remove it that day which was in mar 2010 now its may 2010 and the same lump is back and in the same spot. the only thing the surgeon said was the biopsy did not show cancer. so my question is how could this return again and the same spot. I am 35 years old.
My husband has a lump in his left breast tip(nipple area). There's pain when pressed too.. It's been a month now.. The lump is not growing but remains in the same size. what is the real reason? Is it serious?
I had a lump in my breast, was seen the same day I found it and it was determined it was a fluid filled cyst that they drained. Turned out to be an infection. However, years later I didn't have a lump but calcium deposits that required a biopsy. Thank goodness, no cancer. But in both cases--- I had a doctor take things seriously and tell me their opinion. So, what does your doctor say?
Hi i'm 21 years old overweight woman. I've been having a lump in my right armpit and it really hurts. The first time i found it was months ago and that time it burst and kinda gone but sometimes it would appear again in my armpit (but not on the same spot), sometimes in my left armpit. I've been using ichthyol cream and doesn't seem to make it all gone.
as for my breasts, I never felt any pain on my breast or find a lump.
should i be worried?
thankyou so much.
The most prevalent cause of a lump in the armpit is infection. An infection can be localized to the armpit itself (perhaps a nick from shaving) or it can be more widespread.. you may also have a boil or abscess just under the skin.
If it's a swollen lymph node,this could be caused by an infection somewhere in the body.

Bloody nipple discharge is not a normal finding but can occur for a variety of reasons, including infection, papilloma, and cancer. Breast cancer in a 15 year old is extremely unlikely. If the bloody discharge and lump are still present, you might have her evaluated by a medical breast specialist (often affiliated with large medical centers) who can determine what additional testing should be done to help determine the source of her problems.
I'm 60 and healthy but just two days ago I found a lump in my left breast at the nipple area, the area is red and it hurts, should I be worrying about this? I've heard that lump at the nipple area are the most dangerous?
I noticed mild breast pain yesterday but didn’t feel my breast heavy, I usually get tender breast before my period so It didn’t concern me that my left breast felt in pain. Until today when it was in more pain, I decided to go to urgent care, and dr told me I have an infection. She told me she was concerned because I’ve never been pregnant and I’m not breastfeeding. She says it concerns her that I developed an infection, she will send me to get a mammogram and an ultrasound.
I have this searing pain in my right breast. It feels like someone is sticking a hot needle into my breast.
It feels like there is a lump under my nipple, and when I prod it, it hurts like nothing I have ever felt before. I can't fold my arms, or touch it.
Is this something to worry about, should I see a doctor?
If lumps are accompanied by breast tenderness and redness, it may suggest an infection. Similarly, breast cysts can also produce firm, tender lumps in the breast that change in size and seem to appear and disappear as your monthly hormone levels change. They often cause pain before your period is due and improve when the period starts.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
I have developed a mass near areola of my right breast in last few days. I has an intense pain and I am not able to understand what it is. I an 37 year old normal lean male with some hypothyroidism from last few years. Can any body help what it is. The lump is very painful. It should not be an infection as I a have no fever like symptoms.
