Why is my breast painful with skin changes?

Patient's Query

You I have had pain in only one breast since last December. The pain use to come and go. But it’s be straight pain for 4 months now. Sometimes I feel shooting pains and it goes into my armpit and down my arm. My nipple has a skin tag on it. My break has a discoloured spot about two inaches away from nipple. Not on my nipple but really close to it I have little little lumps where thick puss can come out. My nipple itself is not inverted but there is an indent right beside the nipple. Two months ago for about 3 days my gland on my neck right above my collar bone was swollen on the same side as my breast with problems

Answered by Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan

Pain, shooting pains, skin changes, lumps with pus, and swollen glands are all signs that need attention. All of these could be the result of different things, one of them being infections, the other one being breast cancer, but that is less common. It's vital to have an oncologist look at you and, if necessary, run tests for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

I have something thick in my breast for 2 weeks and have been taking relief tablets what can I do now?

Male | 14

During two weeks, you've noticed a lump in your breast and taken medicine. This needs examination by an oncologist. Lumps may happen due to hormones, cysts, or severe problems. I suggest scheduling an appointment soon to get checked properly and learn the next steps.

I am suffering pain in my boobs both the side since 2 months when ever I touch it’s paining so what can I do and also it’s like big size .

Male | 27

If the sun is strong, the use of sunglasses protects better from the sunshine. Nevertheless, the sun's rays are really dangerous, so natural means should make you. Don't forget that a wide-brim hat and sunglasses used together provide a shade. Is it true that the form of your outfit can create feelings of hot flashes? Is this a sort of tonic that you look like? For example, a nude top might result in stares from others. As for the effects of laser hair removal on leg veins, it vary, but typically the veins respond very well.

Hello, my sister discovered she had a breast cancer in March 24, she had a successful lumpectomy in March 28, the pathology report said that tumor was 22 x 23 x 18 mm, has 5 involved lymph nodes, ER strong positive ( score 8 ), PR negative, HER2 negative... after that she did a pet/CT scan in May and the opinion of the radiologist written in the report was " patient with right breast cancer after surgery showing no evidence of hypermetabolic lesion distinctive for loco-regional resudal/recurrence of metastatic disease. I also attached the detailed results of the pet/ct itself. Now does it recommend for her to start chemotherapy or to do oncotype dx test first and btw she had 25 sessions of radiotherapy, so after the surgery ( in March) we had the radiotherapy in ( June) and now we don't know we have to start chemotherapy or do this test first since she has ER positive, HER2 negative and she's postmenopausal. She is 55 yrs old. Now I now your opinion, your advice and recommendations for us. And if she did the test and the result is law and chemotherapy is still recommended for her can she take at least a less intensive chemotherapy regimen.

Female | 55

From the information that you were able to share, it sounds like your sister had the necessary treatment done successfully for her breast cancer. Given that she is ERpositive and HER2 negative, the Oncotype DX test can be used to determine whether she requires chemotherapy. If the test indicates low risk, she might not have to undergo intensive chemotherapy. This check is based on the study of the genes present in cancer cells and helps to determine treatment methods. It is important to talk about these options with her oncologist so that the best solution can be found for her case.

Name sarani toppo world like to ask that recently diagnosed with TNBC .PDL-1 test report is positive Is it mandatory to go for immunotherapy

Female | 37

TNBC is a type of breast cancer that is difficult to treat. A positive PDL-1 test could mean that immunotherapy would be effective. You don’t have to, but it can help your immune system fight off cancer cells more effectively. Immunotherapy adjusts your body’s defenses so they can attack the cancer better. Make sure you discuss this with your oncologist though.

I’m feeling pains on my breast and my breast is getting bigger

Female | 21

Breast pain can occur due to various reasons, such as hormonal changes, inflammation, or sometimes even an injury. As for the increase in size, it could be due to hormonal fluctuations, cysts, or in rare cases, certain growths. It's essential for me to examine you to understand better. In the meantime, wearing a well-fitted bra and avoiding caffeine can help with the discomfort. Let's schedule an appointment with gynecologist to evaluate this further and ensure your peace of mind.

I am having extreme pain in my left nipple

Female | 22

It feels painful in the nipple due to a range of causes such as injury, infection, or sometimes even hormonal changes. Be sure to wear loose clothes so as not to make things worse and stop them from rubbing against anything that might irritate them further. You could also try applying a warm compress on it; this might help soothe the pain temporarily but if it’s still there after a while then please go see an oncologist about this as soon as possible.

I have breast from 3-4 days

Female | 23

Breast pain could be due to hormonal changes, like your menstrual cycle, causing tenderness. Sometimes it's just a bit of inflammation or muscle strain. In fact, even wearing a poorly fitting bra can lead to discomfort. Here's what you can do: try wearing a supportive bra, apply a warm compress, and maybe take some over-the-counter pain relief if needed. However, if the pain persists or you notice any unusual lumps, it's best to see a gynecologist for a proper evaluation.

I'm a 24 years breastfeeding mother. I experienced pain just below my left breast for the past 4 months and now the area is swelling. I tried pain killers and resting but nothing is changing

Female | 24

You could be having a problem known as costochondritis, which is a situation where pain and swelling occur near your breastbone. This may be due to activities that tire your chest muscles or an infection. To promote the ice pack action, try not to engage in activities that increase the pain. If the swelling and pain persist, it's better to see an oncologist for further assessment and treatment.

Female | 18

You may be undergoing symptoms associated with your breast health. The hardness of the right breast that you are feeling could be a lump, which might be produced by hormonal changes or the process of inflammation. The pain in both breasts may be caused by either hormonal fluctuations or wearing an improperly fitted bra. The red spots or rashes could be a result of a skin reaction. Regarding these issues, you should ensure you are wearing a bra that fits you properly and then seek consultation with an oncologist for further evaluation and guidance.

Sir boobs nipple mai pain ho rha hai

Female | 20

Nipple pain can result from different causes including fluctuating hormone levels, infection, or skin diseases. Pay close attention to the following if you notice that your breasts are swollen, changing their color, or have a discharge. All these symptoms may need some more checking. If you feel that it is just a minor one and it does not affect you that much, you could simply wear a well-fitted bra and have a warm compress on. Moreover, staying clean by regularly taking baths and changing your undergarments is crucial. Regardless, if the pain continues to ache or become more intense, it is strongly advised to see a healthcare professional.

Female | 52

According to the tests, there’s no evidence of any major problem such as cancer in either breast, which is fantastic news. The tiny calcification found in the left breast could have resulted from an old infection or inflammation. Currently, there’s no cause for alarm but it’s essential to have another checkup next year to be safe. In case you observe any unusual changes in your breasts before then, please let your doctor know.
