Suggest Treatment For Blisters On The Left Breast
Question: Hello. I developed a mole-looking, cyst-looking, blister looking circular area on the bottom area of my
left breast. I got a clear mamogram last XXXXXXX and I have never had cancer. I have been doctoring this little "bump," with antibiotics and it has now changed in looks, sort of scabbing over,outlined in red. Could this be cancer? I am terrified. It does not burn. It does not hurt.

Brief Answer:
Not likely,but removal is recommended
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Considering your description,it seems more like to be of infectious cause such as molluscum or carbuncle,especially if antibiotics caused some changes. However, it would be best to remove it surgically since some skin lesions such as basocellular carcinoma may have similar look and we can't rule it out without pathohistologic analysis. Wish you good health. Regards
