What Causes Lump On Nipple And Pain In Left Rib Cage?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I am a 42 year old male and found a lump on the left hand side of my nipple since last august, the lump is not round in shape more like a small oblong shape. I have have 3 GP s look at it and they said its very unlikely to be anything concening. I also get pain on my left rib cage as well and very worried this might be linked to the lump. I visited my GP again and he referred my to have an ultrasound. Please advice I am worried that I have cancer. The size of the lump has not changed in size since i discovered it

Hi, Thanks for query to My HCM virtual Clinic.
I studied all details of your query.
Your query information is insufficient to comment on whether its cancer or not.
In this background I would suggest to consult Surgeon,who would be the right consultant to check and opine about the suspected lump near left nipple and who would treat it properly.If need be he may do FNAC biopsy to fix the cause of your chest lump.
In My Opinion you seem to have problem of Confusion and obsession- anxiety of having cancer,and hence the over handling of your so called lump,(which could be Sebaceous Cyst or a normal fat lump) is giving you lump and the pain in the ribs under the suspected lump.
Hence Second opinion from Surgeon would remove your worry.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Don't forget to hit thanks and write excellent review comments to help needy visitors at HCM.
