General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

based from your description, it could possibly be a cyst, a fibroma or a lipoma. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics such as breast ultrasound and mammography may be recommended. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
