Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Breast
I have a lump in my breast, I felt it and I let it slide. Today I noticed that the lump is now purple and dark and it is sore. I have read that if you re about to start your period you may get random lumps due to hormones. I am not sure what this is. I am 19 years old.

Hi young girl.
This is very true that one gets changes in breasts as per the hormonal changes, one can have.
In your case , this looks to be a fibrocystic disease and nothing to worry about cancer at this age and stage of life.
Consult a General surgeon , just in case , to rule out impending abscess or so as the fibrocystic disease can not change to purple and dark- if so you have to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines.
