Hello doctor,
I have a lump in between my breasts. I have had it for a couple of years. Yesterday, I noticed that it got slightly bigger. Also, it became painful and red. Is there a possibility that it might be cancerous? I do not have any family history of breast cancer.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.

- Any breast lump definitely requires evaluation for cancerous growth. However, a lot of many times, it is benign in nature called as fibroadenoma and sudden redness and pain could be due to secondary infection the fibroadenoma.
- However, in any case you need to do few investigations to detect breast cancer. They are mammogram, ultrasound breast and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lump.
- If any of these investigations have been done, then please attach the reports.
