What Causes A Red Swollen Lump On The Breast?
A few years ago, I had a cyst on my left breast. The Dr gave me a prescription to dry it up. However, after the medication, I still had a knot about the size of a dime. It never gave me anymore trouble until about a week ago. The same spot has now become very tender, with redness around it, swelling, and is about the size of a nickel

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with swelling at your left breast that has increased in size tender and reddish with no improvement on treatment I will suggest you have developed a fibrocystic disease with mastitis (inflammation of the breast)
In view of this please do a breast scan and take the following pending the outcome of the result Tablet tamoxifen tablet ceporex tablet nurofen
I hope this helps Regards
