Is swelling near the armpit and breast a sign of cancer?

Question

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.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I reviewed your query and I want you to answer a few questions.

Do you have children?
Are you lactating currently?
Have you done any imaging study for this lump, like an ultrasound?

Kindly revert.

Thank you.

Answer 2

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.
