Does Hard Lump In Breast Indicate Cancer?
Hello Dr. My right breast has a big red circle probably the size of a quarter over the top of the nipple and there s a hard lump there. It is extremely painful and has been throbbing since last night. I noticed that there is a red line about 3 inches long going up towards my neck from this red hard spot. Breast cancer is on my mom side of the family she just thought her battle with it about six months ago and on my dad side my aunt and my cousin both have had breast cancer. Should I be concerned or should I just wait a couple days.
