Yes I know what Subcutaneous mean it means that it is between in the dermal layer of tissue above the layer of muscle tissue. This is some thing you my have on going all your life it is one of those odd things the human body can do and you just my have a spot in your body that over produces a specific type of cell you my have to repeatedly treat it the same why or you can get a second opinion which is always good

They said benign? That means non-cancerous. I've had two lumps removed from my right breast. Both were benign. I'm not sure about the debris. My mammogram tech has never been so detailed. Have you had a sonogram yet? If you feel it-have it removed. It's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck.

A mammogram would not help you with a lump in this area, as it would be impossible to image.  Go see your doctor.  An ultrasound might be a good place to start.  X-rays would be no good and a CT or MRI is very expensive.  Most of the scans I have performed for this reason turn out to be benign.  Usually, a lump there is attributed to fat distribution.  BUT, you cannot be too careful.  And if you have it imaged, then you know pretty much for sure what you are dealing with.

actually if this is a recent development you should consult a doctor because uneven sizes of breasts is a symptom of breast cancer. If you just noticed this change then you should get a check-up just in case.

This does not necessarily indicate cancer, but it is extremely appropriate to see a doctor.  There are a few causes of lumps in the breast, many of which are benign.  However, seeing a doctor will not only diagnose your problem, it will also help to ease your mind.

Sounds like a Baker's cyst. These are common and usually not too serious.\nYou should still go see a doctor anyways.

any lump should raise a concern.. pain.. not usually to have big concerns but get it checked out thats for sure. Would you rather go to the doctor for an hour or suffer like my mom for 12 years of pain for the wrong decision. The sooner the better the life chance if need be.. but no worries as far as the description.. but get seen.. life should be lived.. not wasted.

The problem with small lumps is that it can be a hundred different things. It can range anywhere from not serious at all to something serious. So, my advice to you:\n\nCheck out WebMD.com - You can put in your symptoms and run down a checklist and sometimes that helps. That's just your immediate action plan.\n\nAfter that, go to your doctor. It probably is nothing, but better safe than sorry, right?

When I was about 7 months pregnant I found a lump and tossed it up to a blocked milk duct. I mentioned it at my next visit, and the ball started rolling. I was diagnosed with breast cancer within 5 days. And unlike someone else said that tumors in the breast are small, my biggest of three tumors was 4cm, rather large.\n\nI guess what I am saying is that it doesn't hurt to get it checked out for your peace of mind. BTW, I was 29 years old with no family history of BC.\n\nI will be thinking good thoughts for you, good luck!

First off, THIS IS NOT one of the times that you should jump off of your computer and run to the ER. \n\nA bit of information. Lumps that come and go with your period may be what is known as Fibrocystic Change (not cancer). Your breasts respond to hormone changes during your period. Breast lumps should usually be examined about a week or so AFTER the start of your period. \n\nMake an appointment with your primary care physician, and don't get anxious.\n\nHere is a website with good reliable information:\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/4982-4.asp

Do monthly self-exams of your breasts to check for any small lumps.  That is the best early detection, and can help you to treat or remove lumps before they become cancerous or dangerous.  If you find a lump, see your doctor right away to determine if it's cancerous or just fluid (that can happen sometimes too).  Here's a website to help you learn how to do a self-exam:\nhttp://www.komen.org/bse/

Generally, breast lumps which are hard, have an irregular border and surface, and are tethered either to the skin or the underlying muscle are cancerous.\n\nBreast lumps which are smooth, well defined and mobile, tend to be cysts or fibroadenomas, which are not cancerous.\n\nIf you have a lump in your breast, the best thing you can do is see your doctor. They will do an examination and may be able to reassure you that the lump is nothing to worry about, or they may refer you for more tests to rule out a malignancy. Even if it does turn out to be a cancer, the treatments for breast cancer are very good now, especially if you catch the cancer at an early stage, so go sooner rather than later.

Probably a benign cyst and nothing to worry about, but its always wise to get these things checked out by a doctor :D

Sometimes  it can be fibroid and a result of too much caffenine. Get a mamogram ASAP! That is the best assessment of breast nodules.  If it is truly a cyst-- they can use a long needle and local pain killer to aspirate the cyst and get the fluid out.\n\nPlease see the Susan G Komen website for breats health information.

At your age a cancerous cyst i.e. breast cancer is extremely rare. I had a lump at your age and it was a benign cyst which is hormonal. Go to your doctor and don't be scared. 99% lumps are just cysts. I get alot of them just like my mum does. I am so pleased I went to my doctor because I get alot of them, but get every one checked... just to be sure.

It could be a fatty cyst, a blocked pore, an ingrown hair, a lymph note or a gland.  You need to have it examined by a medical practitioner, rather than have yahoo speculate it for you:)

Contrary to popular belief you should worry about a growth or lump if it does not hurt more than you should if it does not. This is so because if the lump does hurt chances are high that you may have hurt your self. Sometimes a person develops lumps during their period.\n\nSigns that suggest a lump is more likely to be cancerous:\nThe lump is firm and hard \nThe lump is not discrete; it is not easily distinguishable \nThe lump is fixed in the breast; it does not move \nThere is only one lump \nThere is not an identical lump in the opposite breast \nThe skin of breast is dimpled \nThe lump is accompanied by bloody nipple discharge\n\nSigns that suggest a lump is less likely to be cancerous:\nThe lump is soft \nThe lump is discrete; it is easily distinguishable \nThe lump moves in the breast \nThere are multiple breast lumps \nThere is an identical lump in the opposite breast \nThe lump disappears after the menstrual cycle \n\n\nAs women we should check our breasts monthly preferably a week after our pereods.\nA self examination is easy and essential.\nheres how you go about doing it.\nLie down with a pillow or folded towel under the right shoulder and place the right arm behind the head. Check the entire breast and armpit area using the pads of the first three middle fingers on the left hand to feel for lumps, changes, or irregularities in the right breast. Apply 3 pressures-light, medium, and deep-in dime-sized circles to feel the entire thickness of the breast." A firm ridge in the lower curve of each breast is normal. The exam should then be repeated on the left breast, using the finger pads of the right hand (the pillow or folded towel should also be moved under the left shoulder at this time).\nIt is important to thoroughly examine the entire area of the breast every month: \nOutside: armpit to collar bone, and below the breast \nMiddle: the breast itself \nInside: the nipple area \n\ncancerous tumors are more likely to be found in some parts of the breast than in others. Approximately half of all breast cancers occur in the upper, outer region of the breast toward the armpit. \n\nApproximate percentage of breast cancers found in each area:\n41% in the upper, outer quadrant \n14% in the upper, inner quadrant \n5% in the lower, inner quadrant \n34% in the area behind the nipple \n6% in the lower, outer quadrant \n\nI suggest you visit your gp asap. If its nothing to worry  about, you be in a better state of mind, if there is the earlier you treat it the better.\n\nI hope that yoursare just a lump and that you will be fine\nGood Luck
