What Causes Smelly, Cracking And Painful Eruption In The Left Breast?
I have a large growth covering my left beast and no one seems to know what It is, and I m being passed from Dr. to Dr. No bio has been done on it. It is cracking, smells rotten, hurt badly, and I have even gone so far as to pick it off as much as I could. Only for it to grow back again. I am a post transplant patient of many years with no problems. However now I seen to be getting sick, I in a lot of pain to wear it hurts to walk and not sure what to do anymore. I no longer have my Kidney Physician and an looking for a Internal medicine Doctor but now must go to San Fran., and try to get into UCSF Breast Center without any help. I feel I have slipped through the cracks and am just going to fade away. I need to find a doctor as I am running out of my drugs that help keep me alive..I have other important issues as well.

Hi
I will advise you to do a bilateral mammography test.
If any lesion is found in the scan then biopsy has to be done to rule out breast cancer.
A breast biopsy removes a sample of breast tissue camera that is looked at under a microscope to check for breast cancer. A breast biopsy is usually done to check a lump found during a breast examination or a suspicious area found on a mammogram, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
I will advise you to go forfine-needle aspiration biopsy where a thin needle is inserted into a lump and removes a sample of cells or fluid.
The sample of breast tissue will be looked at under a microscope to check for cancer cells.

DR DE
