Avatar n tn Breast lump. Found a small lump on areola. It is fixed, hard and irregular in shape. It is on the surface of the areola. Anyone have something like this? Waht is it?
Avatar n tn I have a small hard lump about 3 inches below my right breast. It is just under the skin and moveable. It does not hurt at all. It lies just below where my bra band would sit. Could this be from the friction caused by my bra or could this be something serious? I do breast exams, etc...
Avatar n tn =P About 2 months ago, i found a lump in my left breast, behind my nipple, which is painless but quite hard. I left it to see if it would go but it didn't. So today i finally plucked up the courage to go to my GP and get it checked out! Im only 18 so finding this was extremely worrying. The doc was extremely re-assuring but as some as you may know, you still can't help but worry yourself sick!
Avatar n tn i am a little concerned because they found these due to pain i have been having in my right breast. i am only 36 yr old and they have also detected a small lump in the same breast but say they aren't worried about the lump at all just the small cluster of microcalcifications. does this sound normal to either of you? thank you again!
Avatar m tn Although you don't mention the size of the ? lump I'm wondering if this might be a pimple. A true breast lump would not be on the skin surface and there would be no way to determine if it were white or any other color. I would advise that you have your Mother look at it or a school nurse or even your Dr. the next time you see him/her. Take care .....
7729616 tn?1393795492 My right breast has ballooned in size despite me being nowhere near my period. Pain and tenderness is still bad. I am worried that if I go back to the same doctor about this she will presume that the lump has not changed in size. But it's not the lump that I think is bigger but my breast?? Now I just don't know what to do or if I'm imagining things. Any help is appreciated.
Avatar m tn If your doctor has recommended removal of the lump without ordering some type of testing beforehand and you are not sure of his/her diagnosis,I would advise you to seek a second opinion preferably with a Breast Specialist who might agree with your doctor to have the lump removed or might want to further investigate this problem by ordering a blood hormone level test,an ultrasound,a mammogram or even a biopsy..
Avatar f tn hello, i have a small hard lump under my breast on the ribcage, it has nothing to do with my breast, just the ribcage, the lump is the size of a small marble does not hurt or move, nut i can notice it when i feel my ribs, nothing on the other side like it, went to see one doc and she didnt examine the other side, just my breast, which i told her it wasnt, it was on my rib, she said it was part of my rib and to go away basically. iv not noticed it before.
Avatar f tn Hi, This could be an infected cyst,or maybe an abscess that can occur on the breast like on any other part on the body.These kind of infected lumps are usually treated with antibiotics.But if it keeps coming back,surgical removal of the infected area may be necessary. I don't think you should be worrying too much,because it doesn't sound at all like a breast cancer symptom,but you should see your doctor ASAP so that this painful lump can be adequately treated. Best wishes...
484844 tn?1253968693 Last night i felt a lump on the underside or 6:00 position on my breast. It is where the bottom of my bra is. It is painful when i wear my bra . My sister said " cancer lumps don't hurt " Is that a myth? I am making an appointment with my Dr tomorrow but I am still a little scared.
Avatar f tn After my new doctor felt a rollable lump near breast (outer quadrant) she questioned it..I've had it for ten years and had gone to a surgeon then and he said it was muscle tissue...I'm 47 and had baseline mammogram when 30..have had mammograms since with no callbacks..two months ago (before my doctor appt.) had didital mammogram and it was fine..She recommended ultrasound...Report came back with very dense parenchymal tissue in that area with a small cystic focu of 3mm..
Avatar n tn last christmas (about 9 months ago) i noticed a small hard lump on my right chest (just above my breast) - i have been travelling for a year, and at the time was in italy, so i went to an italian doctor. She examined my breasts and told me not to worry about it, that i probably just bumped myself. there was no pain at all to touch, and i didnt feel anything. relieved, i forgot about the lump until about 1 month ago, when i noticed it again.
Avatar f tn When it does contract, there are areas that still stay puffy. A dry patch has mysteriously popped up on my breast, right next to the area on my nipple that has the bump. (I've never had a problem with dry skin on my breasts; I still moisturize but completely avoid the nipple on that breast.) I went back today, and the doctor said she didn't see anything different or concerning, but referred me to a breast specialist/surgeon for another opinion.
Avatar f tn breast pain however is quite common and occurs due to various causes. If your biopsy is on an area of calcification then it seems the odds are in your favor for a benign result. Even if this were found to be something other than benign it would be a very early discovery; you mention no lump either by palpation or on film. Regards ....
4980165 tn?1361873056 Hi, A clinical examination is necessary for determining the correct cause of your illness. This lump on the collar bone could possibly be enlarged lymph nodes which may be pushing on the nerves causing pain. Other possibility is that it could be a lipoma, or a harmless fatty on collar bone. A clavicle bone lump can also be caused by a poorly healing break in the bone. Another condition that causes a clavicle bone lump is aneurysmal bone cyst.
