What Does Small Skin Tag And A Lump Under The Breasts Mean?

i have a very small skin tag coming out along my bra line in the front and under the tag i am feeling a small lump size of a small pea or so. is that normal because i had a tag once removed inthe same spot about 5 to 6 years ago but the lump is new.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,
thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of surgery for the skin tag 5 to 6 years ago at the same spot where you have hot a skin tag now. Only difference is there is a small lump under it.
Recurrence of the lump at the same spot after so much indicates that there is some irritation, ans it is most probably the bra strap that is rubbing over the same spot over yeas to cause a lump called as papiloma.
I would advise you in such a case the following.
Consult a General Surgeon to get a confirmed diagnosis and get the swelling excised for two reasons:
One, you get rid of hte lump which is not a normal part of the body.
Secondly, you get a confirmed diagnosis by histo-pathology examination the nature of the lump.
Change the bra in such a way that the new ones do not rub at all on the previous spots.
I find this answer helpful
