Q: I have had a peas sized lump for years on the top right hand side of my left breast.

I was in the mirror one day and saw a blackhead in the same place and squeezed it and all kinds of puss came out. The lil lump was still there and the next week more puss came out. About three months later the little lump turned into a bigger lump and it hurts now and puss still come out, the lump does not move. My mom seems to think it ay be a cyst and sense I aggrevated it it is now comming to a head. I made an appointment with my gynecologist for tomorrow. Is this something I should be worried about? I am scared. Please help.

 

Thanks

I have had four mamograms over the last four years and an ultrsound done.

Nikky, this sounds like an infection; breast tumors aren't filled with pus. I'm sorry you've had this painful problem, and I'm glad you're seeing a doctor, but I wouldn't stress about breast cancer. Good luck - PJH
