Lump and redness of breast

About 4 weeks ago I noticed a red patch on my breast (fairly small and resembles the look of sunburn) now a week ago I also felt a lump under the skin, & the red patch is a bit larger went to my GP and was given a week course of flucloxacillan - this has made no difference and i’m now fearing the worst! I have been referred to a breast clinic but told this will take around 3 weeks! Have major anxiety now i’m struggling to think about going about things normally for the next 3 weeks while full of worry! Anyone any tips on how to stay calm or suffered the same thing?

    So I went today & had an ultrasound- they could feel the lump physically but nothing showed on the ultrasound?? Said it looked the same as the other side & they didn’t see anything jump out? They didn’t say it was a Fibroadenoma or a Cyst or anything? So i have a very large lump and redness for .. nothing? My mind doesn’t feel completely at ease has this happened to anyone else? They told me if the redness & mass persists to go back in 2 months time

    Hi Worried,

    Again, you're on an old thread, so don't be surprised if you don't get a reply. You might find that you'll get more replies if you start a new thread and entitle it something like "Lump not showing up on ultrasound" or something similar. This might attract people who are currently in a similar situation.

    Kind regards,
