Small lump

Hi.  I've found a small lump on my left breast.  I can only feel it when I press lightly and if I have no bra on.  I can't feel it if my bra is on or if I'm lying down.  It's not painful but it wasn't there before, i just noticed it at the start of the week.  Should I see the doctor or is it nothing serious?  I don't want to waste anyones time if it's nothing to worry about. 

Thanks

  • Hello, and thank you for contacting us.

    You won't be wasting anyone's time by seeing the doctor, it is important to get unusual changes checked out.

    There are other reasons for lumps in the breast other than cancer, you can read about them here,  but it is good to get properly assessed by your GP so do make an appointment.

    Take care, and hopefully you will know more soon.

    Sarah.
