What Could Lumps On Breast Suggest?

I have a lump under the skin on the side of my breast that feels like a pea. It started out a week ago as a very red spot the size of a dime. Now it's pink and has the definite lump under the skin. Does this sound like a pimple or something worse? Thank you.

hi.

how old are you? does your family have a history of breast problems?

in cases of breast lesions, i suggest for you to have a breast ultrasound/mammography done along with a clinical consult. it could be a case of a simple cyst, but to be safe and not miss out on anything, a consultation with your doctor would be best.

hope this helps.

good day!!
