Did you have reconstruction? Could it be fatty tissue? Praying that is all it is - hugs for peace of mind over the weekend. Keep us posted ♥️

Maryann, yes, get it checked. If its protruding it can start coming through the skin and become a fungating wound so find out what your options are.

It's important to contact your doctor as soon as possible if you notice any new or changed lumps in your breasts. Here are some key points to consider:

- Breast Cancer Lumps: Typically irregular in shape, firm or solid, single (not clustered), and generally don't move if pressed.
- Benign Lumps: Could be fibroadenomas, cysts, abscesses, fat necrosis, scar tissue, hematomas, or galactoceles.
- Location: About 50% of cancerous lumps develop in the outer upper portion of the breast and extend into the armpit area.

Given your history of a mastectomy, it's crucial to have any new lumps evaluated by your healthcare provider.
