What Causes Bump Outside Areola With Family History Of Breast Cancer?
I have a question. I have never got a mammogram before but I have found a pea sized bump just right outside of my areola but it is not painful to the touch but has gotten just slightly bigger than this morning? and I am just concerned because breast cancer runs in my family. Any suggestions what this might be?

Any breast lump should be promptly investigated. A family history of breast cancer puts you at high risk as well.
I would suggest that you see your doctor for a clinical breast examination, a mammogram and a fine needle aspiration for cytology (FNAC) of the breast lump.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
