Is swelling near the armpit and breast a sign of cancer?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have noticed that the area above my right breast and beside my armpit is swollen. It came down a little once but stayed consistent for the past two months. It feels stiff when I press it but there are no lumps or pain. Also, I am currently taking Lamotrigine.
Kindly help.

I reviewed your query and I want you to answer a few questions.
- Do you have children?

- Have you done any imaging study for this lump, like an ultrasound?

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
I do not have children, and I have not done any imaging tests.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
In this case, you must get a breast ultrasound of both breasts and send me the reports because that is the only way I can advise you on the best possible management of this lump. Also, I want to know if there is any discharge, like milky discharge from your breasts.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
