Hi Worried - Please don't stress over this. There's a very small chance the bump could signal a rare form of breast cancer - either Paget's disease, or inflammatory breast cancer. Chances are, it's neither. But as Ken says, you should see a doctor — though not on an emergency basis. Call and explain your symptom, say you're worried about inflammatory breast cancer, and have them schedule you in ASAP, same as if you had a sore throat or stomach pain. In other words, waiting a few days or a week is fine; waiting three months is not. Good luck - PJH
