Is Growing, Red Lymphomas Under The Left Breast On Rib Concerning?
I have been diagnosed in the past with lympomas. They tend to be very painful at times. I seem to have one now under my left breast on my rib. Although my primary care doc agrees with the diagnosis, she has done nothing about it. It now seems to be growing and has become rather red. Should I be concerned?

Hi.
I hope you are talking about lymph nodes ( Lymphoma is a cancer).
By the way the area you mentioned- under left breast on your rib have no lymph nodes at all. This looks to be an infection or just inflamation of the muscles. Redness suggests an infection for which your Doctor should have given you an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
