Small painful lump very close to my left nipple.

I'm male 44, I have noticed a small  about one inch long hard lump near my left nipple for the past few days. It only hurts when I press it. No obvious swelling or redness and the nipple it self looks normal. Wondering what it could be ? I haven't seen any gp or nurse yet as it's very recent one. 

  • Hi HK, Presumably you have come here because you are concerned it could be breast cancer? Sorry, I don't know what this could be, but I would want to know what it is and the only way to do that is to see your gp in the first instance, who may refer you for more investigations. It may be completely innocent, but best to get it checked. Have a good weekend and I'd be interested to know how you get on. Amy
