I am a 20 year old studying abroad in
Italy. A few days ago I found a lump on
breast. At first it was painful and red
but lately it has stopped hurting and is
just a hard, mobile lump that won't go
away. It did not come at the same time as
my period. I have never heard of a lump
hurting and not hurting anymore, could it
just be because it was irritated from me
touching it or was it more likely an
infection that is just healing? I am not
exactly sure how to go about it because I
am not in the states.
THanks so much!

Wait, a lump in your breast or a lump on
your breast, like a pimple?

You really need to have the lump evaluated
by a doctor. Is there a clinic where you
are that you could go to. It may not be
anything, but you must not take that
chance. Usually breast cancer will not
cause any pain, but there are other breast
conditions that will. It could be a cyst
or nodule. Please find a doctor or clinic
and have them do a mammogram and
ultrasound.
Best of luck!
