Discoloured painful lump

Hi, I am concerned as I have recently been told I have a cyst in my right breast but as of a week ago I noticed a ball like lump in the same breast which has become very painful and almost sticking out of my skin, it is very discoloured almost like a purple blue and it is causing a burning sensation in my niple! I'm finding it very uncomfortable and painful to wear bras or sleep on my side! I have noticed some swelling in my boob also but no discolouration. Could someone please help as I am becoming very concerned! I'm 25 so my mind jumps to the worst! 

  • Hi and thanks for the post

    People's minds usually do tend to think of worst case scenarios with lumps but in the majority of cases , especially in people of your age , cancer is not the explanation.

    As no one here can say what this is as you need to get it looked at for anyone to say, do make another appointment with the GP, even if you have been recently seen.

    All the best
