Lump under areola for more than 6 months

Hey 

Basically I found a hard pea sized lump right under my areola about 6 months ago. It feels like it's connected deeper into my boob. I was scared to mention it to my doctor because I'd seen a female doctor before about pain and hardness in my boob and she told me my age meant it's very unlikely to be anything bad and not to worry. I'm 21 now and I've been monitoring this lump but it is not going away. It's not painful but can be uncomfortable to touch, particularly recently. I can also get pain in my armpit sometimes. 
 

I spoke to my doctor on Monday and he's referred me to the breast clinic. 
 

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or know how long it takes to get your appointment through from the breast clinic ? 
 

I'm really anxious about it and with coronavirus my brains just going into overdrive.

  • i have the same thing, but larger. could you tell me how this went? i am also young, younger than you, i am interested to know what the result of any tests you had were as i'm very apprehensive.

    your description of your lump is by far the closest i can find to mine. mine is also visible from the surface, but not ON the surface, and it is a pale bluish colour sometimes depending on the light.

    i am seeing a doctor next week.

    would appreciate to know how this went for you, wishing you well
