Found A Lump. Done Biopsy On My Right Breast. Have A Painful Scar On My Nipple. Concerned?

I have done biopsy on my right breast after doctors found a lump and the results came back negative for breast cancer. I have a painful scar on my nipple that has been there for almost 3 years. It won't get bigger or it won't get smaller or it won't go away by itself. I just don't know what this scar is.

Many thanks

Hi and thanks for using this panel for your worries.

You should be concerned because the scar is itchy and painful. Otherwise, i don't think there is any risk of another cancer right now. These is a mild long term complication of surgeries at the site of incision. I don't know exactly how it look to qualify it a keloid or not.

If it is so annoying,, you may want to meet and get it examined. You could also discuss options for excision and maybe some esthetic surgical repair. Do not forget there are also local acting creams that can take care of the itching like calamine lotion

Hope this helps....Wish you a good health
