Hello,
Well, obviously, a new pain in the breast would make someone worry about cancer. Mostly it is not. There can be infection; mostly it is fairly obvious that there is infection (red, hot, swollen, purulent, et cetera) and, the breast is near nerves that run under the armpit and out to the arm.
The breast does not have to be involved for these nerves to be hit. It is hard for me to remember how bad it was when I pulled one of these nerves out just from reaching out with the arm too fast and far, but it hurt quite a bit for months.
It is obviously a reason to get it checked, mostly, not cancer. Mostly does not need surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
