What Causes A Painless, Itchy Lump Above The Breast?
My Wife has a soft tissue Lump over her left breast. She stated that it itches. It is about 1 inch above the actual breast. There has been a sore spot there for several years in the same place, initially cause by a mammogram machine several years ago. There is little or no pain associated with the lump. It appears to be Fatty looking, about 1 1/2 inches long, about 1/2 inch wide. No discoloration. The Lump just seemed to have popped up several days ago and subsequently itched at the same time.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to lipoma which is a fatty tissue. If the lump does not cause any symptoms there is no need for treatment. If it does cause any symptoms such as pain,you may need to treat it with surgery.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
