Q: Lump Under Breast?

Hey guys..Was just wondering if anyone could help me out! I have been freaking out the past few days because I noticed what seems to be a lump under my left breast. Its actually sorta on the side (between the breasts) and continues under it. I have just been under alot of stress lately and anxiety so I seem to worry about everything. For all I know it could have always been there but I never noticed it. It was just worrying me because it is in the heart and breast region. And my bra rubs up against it and causes irritation. Just wondering if anyone ever experienced this...Or if it is normal and always been there and i'm just going crazy for no reason. My husband tells me not to worry, but he was the one who actually pointed it out. Any feedback would be appreciated! Didn't wanna go to the doctor and have him tell me it is just my breastbone or something.

That is weird. I just noticed the other day I have a lump under my left breast too. It's more in the middle though. I think it should probably be checked out by a doctor, just to be on the safe side.

Diagnosis

I've got one, too on the left - underneath toward the left of center. Right where the bra band is, and it is now to the point of hurting. Grown by half in the last few weeks. What was your diagnosis?

Breast Lumps

Breast lumps can depend on various things such as: " around the bra band, it is most likely that your mammary glands are swelled up by your underwire bra. If near the center or above, it is something you could get checked by your doctor or have a mamogram. If it is near your armpit or on the outside of your breast(s), it could be your underwire bra again. "

either case, you should have your doctor check it out.

Good luck

Lump Under Breast

I have the EXACT SAME THING my husband noticed yesterday! mine is hard as a rock but was also discolored til I put neosporin on it thinking it may be a zit from heat. The discoloration went away but still have the hard lump. Am going to the DR for my annual exam Friday so will have him look at mine. Breast cancer runs rampant in my family so I am not taking any chances. Let me know what you find out from your doctor and I will do the same. Marcell94

lump under your breast

the first thing you should do is stay calm and not panic.The lump may have occur through hormonal problem or the way of your lifestyle.You should go for a mammogram check up to check if the lump is cancerous.Not every lump found in the breast is due to cancer infection please consult your doctor.

cyst/lump under breast

I also had the same lump in the same area. I went to a walk in clinic for a cold and they said it felt like a cyst. It did go away in about 3 weeks. Now I have two in the same spot. It's very sore. But you MUST get it checked out. These things should be taken seriously.
