Question: Im very scared Id like anyone who has any experience with diagnosing breast cancer to help answer my question
Im 24 and Ive always kind of had a small hard lump in my breast since I was a teenager Ive gotten used to it so its been out of my mind as a health concern but Saturday evening I had a very somewhat painful itch in that breast It hurt it was an ache somewhat of a burning sensation but something I couldnt do anything to relieve After a few hours it eventually went down and I slept at around 4 in the morning and I decided to take a closer look at my breast in the morning It was scaly around the areola when I woke up maybe dry skin and I have a couple freckles on that breast only I googled alot and its scared me how likely it could be cancer about a few days before the breast burn I had a very small lump appear in the armpit on my opposite side I noticed it when bathing and didnt think much of it it was a bit tender but as of today while still there its a lot less prominent as well as less tender so Im not sure if thats related I dont have an inverted nipple nor is there any rash or orange peel like texture to my breast yet The only other thing Ive noticed is that I have more nipple sensitivity I guess I feel really sesntive in my bra I just started working at my new job so I dont know how to take the day for a test but if its necessary I really want to to be sure I just want to make sure Im not overreacting since the lump has always been there my period was last around 2 weeks ago if thats anything to note
Answer: Hello good afternoon 

Based on what you have described I advise you to remain calm but you really need to take a day off from work to go see a doctor for a proper examination and tests 

I would like to say that you should have the lump removed and examined by the pathologist Thats the standard practice 

You can discuss this with your doctor and the earlier you go the better 

I hope this helps 

Cheers

Answer: Hello Rubens Girl and thanks for using Wellvis

Youve done a great job with giving detailed information regarding your problem First of all Ill urge you to stay calm and not panic
Diagnosis of breast cancer needs to be done by your doctor after examining the affected breast and surrounding regions and requesting the relevant tests
Also keep in mind that other conditions can cause the lump you experienced in your armpit which Im thinking is a lymph node An infection for example may cause that
Regarding the lump have you noticed any change in its size or texture since this incident
Ill recommend you get a full breast examination from your doctor who will advice properly
You can also get a head start by using our Chat feature at an affordable charge where you can share photos and have a live communication with one of our verified doctors
Wish you well and I hope this helps

PS Remember to wash your hands as often as you can
