Well your sister is right and wrong...yes it can be some kind of bacteria causing a condition known as Cellulitis, however...it does require medical attention...specifically antibiotics.  \nIs it really tender and painful to the touch?  Is there swelling or redness?\n\nBe safe...go to your doctor.\nIn the mean time...read this..at www.webmd.com\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/infection/tr5108.asp

I have alot of them. I began to get them...humm...maybe when I was 23. I asked my doctor about them and he said they were normal and nothing to worry about. It sounds like the same thing. Mine are like blood red and as you said about the size of a freckle or mole. I remember my mother saying she had them to. I believe they are quite common. However the doctor did not tell me if there was a name for them.

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.

i found a small hard lump in my breast it growed . it was cancer. it hurt sometimes and my breasts got sore.i was diagnosed april 2005...Lumps in a woman are often caused by fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, and cysts.\n\nFibrocystic changes can occur in either or both breasts. These changes occur in many women (especially during the reproductive years) and are considered a normal variation of breast tissue. Having fibrocystic breasts does not increase your risk for breast cancer. It does, however, make it more difficult to interpret lumps that you or your doctor find on exam. Many women feel tenderness in addition to the lumps and bumps associated with fibrocystic breasts.\n\nFibroadenomas are non-cancerous lumps that feel rubbery and are easily moveable within the breast tissue. Like fibrocystic changes, they occur most often during the reproductive years. Usually, they are not tender and, except in rare cases, do not become cancerous later. A doctor may feel fairly certain from an exam that a particular lump is a fibroadenoma. The only way to be sure, however, is to remove or biopsy them.\n\nCysts are fluid-filled sacs that often feel like soft grapes. These can sometimes be tender, especially just before your menstrual period. Cysts may be drained in the doctor's office. If the fluid removed is clear or greenish, and the lump disappears completely after it is drained, no further treatment is needed. If the fluid is bloody, it is sent to the lab to look for cancer cells. If the lump doesn't disappear, or recurs, it is usually removed surgically.\n\nOther causes of breast lumps include:\n\nMilk cysts (sacs filled with milk) and infections ( mastitis ), which may turn into an abscess. These typically occur if you are breastfeeding or have recently given birth. \nBreast cancer , detectable by mammogram or ultrasound, then a biopsy. Men can get breast cancer. \nInjury -- sometimes if your breast is badly bruised, there will be a collection of blood that feels like a lump. These tend to resolve on their own in a matter of days or weeks. If not, the blood may have to be drained by your doctor. \nLipoma -- a collection of fatty tissue. \nIntraductal papilloma -- a small growth inside a milk duct of the breast. Often occurs near the areola, the colored part of the breast surrounding the nipple, in women between the ages of 35 and 55. It is harmless and frequently cannot be felt. In some cases the only symptom is a watery, pink discharge from the nipple. Since a watery or bloody discharge can be seen in cases of breast cancer, this must be evaluated by your doctor. \ni dident have no discharge or bleeding from the nipple.. see your doctor...and request a mamogram and ultra sound.. i forgot the first gyn that checked mine said i dident need a mamogram said mine was a milk gland ....a year later i went and had another gyn check it out ..

you should ask your doctor if that is normal

My sister and I grow these things that sound like what you are describing.  They are polyps.  You should see a doctor to have them checked.  I just noticed that I have one just like that in the same place.  I've got an appointment with her doctor and he will probably do a biopsy to see if it is something dangerous.  But I certain it will just be a polyp. Some women just grow them.  Don't worry, but you should talk to a doctor to be certain.  Good luck!

Call your OB/GYN and see if they recommend you come in to the office before your next scheduled visit.  In the mean time, this is what the experts say:\n\nBreast lumps that are not suspicious have the following characteristics:\n\n1.Freely moveable (cancers tend to invade, and therefore feel stuck to the surrounding tissue). \n2.Painful, which usually means inflammation, not tumor \n3.Vascillations of size (cysts related to milk production will change size with the ups and downs of the hormonal fluctuations. Bad cysts will stay the same size or grow bigger). \n4.Very round-ish. (Malignancies are irregularly shaped.) \n5.Small size (less than a centimeter is small.) \n\nSuspicious breast lumps show the opposite of 1-5 above.\nhttp://www.babyzone.com/features/expertsqa/?QAID=173&ExpertID=1\n\nBreast lumps may occur normally in pregnancy, especially in the third trimester when your breasts are getting ready for lactation. Such masses are typically soft, mobile and occur in both breasts. They may be tender. A tail of breast tissue may extend into the axillae or armpit area. \nBreast cancer is uncommon in pregnancy but it does occur. Approximately one to two percent of breast cancers are diagnosed in pregnancy. The prognosis is similar whether the cancer is diagnosed during pregnancy or at another time.  http://www.ivillage.co.uk/pregnancyandbaby/pregnancy/tri3/qas/0,9583,15_157286,00.html\n\nBy the way, I am a registered mammographer with 15 years experience in the field, and I have never done a mammogram on a pregnant woman.  If a pregnant woman has a suspicious mass, we ALWAYS do an ultrasound instead of a mammogram.  Better safe than sorry when it comes to exposing your baby to radiation.

You have lymph nodes in your armpits that could have cysts on them.  They are located very near your breasts.  Dont' delay!  See a doctor immediately.

First of all,  "nothing to worry about" couldn't be any further from the truth.  While it is true that most lumps in the neck end up being benign, it is always a very good idea to get them checked out by a physician.  If you are young the lump could be a lymph node, a lipoma (fatty tumor) or some sort of cyst.  However many malignancies present as lumps in the neck.  This is especially true if you are over the age of 50 or if you smoke or if you drink heavily.  Thyroid cancer can appear at any age.  It would be helpful to know your age, smoking history, duration and location of the lump.  Also is it tender, is it getting larger etc.  My advice is to get it checked especially if it is greater 1.5 cm in diameter.  See your physician, or an ear, nose and throat surgeon.

Those lumps sound like swollen lymph nodes, which would indicate that the infection is spreading.  Are you taking this antibiotic orally or as a cream or ointment?  It sounds like you need an oral antibiotic if you don't have one already.  If you do have one, keep a close eye on your glucose levels and other symptoms.  As a diabetic you might take a while to heal.  See your doctor again if it doesn't start getting better--you might have something that's resistant to the antibiotic you're taking.  If you run out of antibiotic and it hasn't gotten better, you should definitely see the doctor again.

I had 4 of them in my breast!! The doctor removed them, 3 little lumps a time and 1 years later. And after lab analysis they turned out to be fibroadenomas. Since then I occasionally have had lumps but they go away with medication. They're not malignant, but may grow too big and do harm. To avoid them I don't know what to do. Try and check yahoo! health, HTH!

No, it does not mean cancer but get it checked out.  Could be a boil, benign cyst, or many other harmless things.

Sometimes, lumps in breasts can be innocent. Like a fatty deposit. Some woman naturally have lumpy breasts. If the x-rays came back ok , and your dr. is not concerned, i wouldn't worry about it. But you can always get a second opinion, to give you piece of mind.

A cyst may or may not be a benign tumor. You should see a doctor.

Sounds like a cyst to me.  I have one on each testicle and they have not caused any problems.  You probably should have a ultra-sound to determine if what you have is a cyst.

Go to the Dr.!   \n\nI have lipomas, they sound bad but are really just fatty lumps under the skin.  My brother in law had some removed. Cysts are common too, and usually are not malignant but you need to get it checked out. My husband has had one removed, he was fine.\n\nYou need to get these checked out to make sure they aren't cancer, especially if it's in the breast area.  This will help you stop worrying and to realize what's going on.
