Painless Lump And Crusty Nipples
Hello all, I'm new here. Initially, I discovered a pea-sized lump in my left breast, but I forgot all about it because it wasn't huge or anything. What brought me here was the newly discovered hard, painless lump I discovered in the milk duct of my right breast. It feels like a smooth rock with a flat surface. At first, I…

Lump between collarbone and breast
While rubbing some lotion on a new psoriasis plaque I founf a lump between my breast and my collarbone. Kind of an oblong c shape. About 1" above top of my breast, 2" below collarbone. Thought it was one bump, then two bumps, but on feeling around it seems to connect by my sternum. It seems large to be a lymph node (or 2).…

One view findings - going back for more images
Hello I've been getting mammograms every year since I was 40. I was called back on my first (ultrasound plus mri) and it all turned out well.

I’m back
Hi everyone, I seem to post once a year or every couple years as I have issues after my screenings. I'm 39, extremely dense breasts. My mom had bc twice in her thirties, so I'm decently at risk. Last year I had a fast growing fibroadenoma removed from the right breast. They couldn't rule out a phyllodes tumor so they also…

Full on canyon like dimpling freaking out

It persisted and worsened, then started being accompanied by what felt like an upcoming ingrown hair or something under the surface of my armpit but nothing ever came up.

Bi-Rads 5 Limbo
I started having symptoms back in November - burning type pain & nipple discharge. I guess because of my age (34) & because the symptoms would come & go it was easy for me to blow it off. I also have no family history. Last month I realized I had a small scab on my nipple that had been present for weeks & no injury to…

Hyper awareness/anxiety or IBC
In 2015, I found myself here as I was experiencing some skin changes with my breast and upon googling (the worst, I know), found out ibc existed. I didn’t have it, thank God, but it took 3 diff breast doctors to tell me that. My mind created all sorts of problems. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and my right breast (which…
