I have a tender lump on the surface of my breast above the nipple. In the centre is a black spot. The lump is actually very painful to touch and it is inflamed. The black spot as been there for years. But recently over the last 5 days it has become painful.
I have gone through your medical history and am sorry for the situation you are in.
Depending on your age, and what you are describing, it might be infection of breast glands. However, as the black spots have been there for years, if I was your caring doctor would advise to run: - physical examination by oncologist - breast ultrasound
If abscess is confirmed, antibiotic therapy is advised to start orally and should discuss with surgeon for possible drainage.
Wish fast recovery! Dr.Albana
