Normal Breast Lumps: When to Worry

What Should I Do If I Find a Breast Lump?

A breast lump may not be a cause for alarm, still, you should see your doctor if you discover any new breast changes, such as:

  • Obvious lack of proportion around your breast
  • A lump or thickened area in or near the breast or underarm that lasts through your menstrual cycle
  • A change in breast size, shape, or contour
  • A mass or lump. It could be as small as a pea or feel like a marble under your skin.
  • A change in how the skin on your breast or nipple looks or feels. It could be dimpled, puckered, scaly, or inflamed.
  • Clear or bloody fluid coming out of the nipple
  • Red skin on your breast or nipple
