Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a dime size area on my left breast, about 1 1/2 inches to lower left, has been there a week, and is bluish red in coloring with a small lump which can be felt under it. I do not remember any trauma to the area but it is possible that my dog jumped on me there.
I understand your concern. Red lump in breast could be due to infection/abscess, mastitis, lipoma, hematomaa formation by injury by dog jump. fibrocystic disease. I would suggest to consult general surgeon and undergo examination and if needed USG scan to confirm cause. Specific treatment depend on cause. Infection require antibiotics course. Hematoma resolves in 5-8 days. Apply warm pad application and wear padded supported bra.
Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.
Best regards, Dr. Sagar
