What Causes Painful Lump On Breast?

I have a lump on my breast. It is painful and pimple like. No discharge from the nipple and I have pms for the time being. I myself am a medical student and I know it is not a normal thing to have lumps on breast. Can it be just an inflammation? Btw, I am 22 years old.

Hi,

If the breast lump is as small as a pimple and is painful, I doubt it is anything more than a sebaceous cyst. It happens if you don't take care of the breast skin. For now, kindly take an antibiotic for 5 days. Apply Clindamycin locally on the breast lesion.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajni Gill, OB & GYN Specialist
