Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Though you have stopped visiting doctors, but this time you definitely need to visit a surgeon for a clinical examination of this growth, as there is a very high possibility of it being malignant, given your age and its painless nature. And breast cancer if detected early, have a very good cure rates.
Also i would suggest that you get a mammogram of the same. That will greatly help in reaching a diagnosis.
Hope u have been helpful.

yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, the painless nature of the growth goes in favour of malignancy.
Infective or inflammatory growths are usually painful and cancerous growths are usually painless.
So better get it examined. Maybe a biopsy will also be needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Hi,

MD About a year ago, I started seeing white spots on my legs...they have multiplied rapidly. The dermatologist diagnosed it as Vitiligo. I am currently applying Pigmento ointment (charak). I was sent Vitiligo 30 sublingual pills from Biogetica, as well as Pigmento Tablets. I am a breast cancer survivor (2), and have had reconstruction. I am 68, and 5 4 tall...weigh 154 lbs. I am really scared to ingest the pills for fear that it will do liver damage. One of the pills contain Arsen Sulph . How harmful is this? Please advise. Thank you. Juliet
