How To Remove Lump On Areola And Behind Ear?

I have a grape-sized lump behind my ear. It feels like it s on the gland. It s immobile, and I wouldn t call it painful, but I definitely feel a tightness and pressure. I don t have insurance or the money to see a doctor. Also three weeks before I noticed this lump, a small lump came up on my areola, right next to my nipple. This one is smaller and rubbery, but also immobile. What should I do? I am 26, I weigh 127 lbs.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

based from your description, it could possibly be a breast cyst, a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation) or fibrocystic breast changes. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. diagnostics such as breast ultrasound may also be needed for further evaluation of the mass. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
