What To Do For Red Lump On Breast?

I had a red growth on my right upper breast close to the arm pit and shoulder the spot was the size of a dime and itches constantly. The surrounding area does itch as well. I alway have very troublesome itching in the middle of my back in the area where you can t reach it from over the shoulder or behind the back. I am always looking for a door jamb . Also I have been getting soaking night sweats for the last 2 months. I am a 72 year old male in good shape and go to the gym 5/6 times a week for at least 1 hour. I have noticed recently (2 mos) that I get a little tired in the mid afternoon. I am very active and this has just started to occur and it was unheard of for me to want to nap at that time of day. What are your thoughts before I call my primary. I understand tis just a comment and I thank you for your time. Dom

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of itchy lesions, night seating and weakness, I would like to tell you that there must be some fungal infection in the red lump area; possibly it is not related to tiredness or sweating which could be due to weather, mood or even blood sugar!

Therefore there is nothing to worry too much but you have to go for certain blood works!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
