It feels like . Lumpy and like the size of an small apple . Should I be worried? It bothers me sometimes. Sincerely worried Mary
I do not think you really need to be worried. In case you had never actually had this lump before, it is possible that this should be hardened blood inside the breast called a hematoma. A hematoma shall gradually fade out on its own and does not require any special treatment. You could as well nget a breast ultrasound done. I do not think you really need to be bothered as for now. Be calm. Do not hesitate contacting your doctor in case you experience more abnormal or unsuual symptoms. Thanks and kind regards. Bain LE, MD
