Lump in my breast, was it always there but didn't notice from the fat



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I have a lump that is right near my cleavage. It keeps on getting bigger and bigger and I do not know which doctor I should see. GYN, Derm or family practice. Has anyone had these kind of lump (its right on my breast plate) I've done some research and found out that breast cancer have a tendencies to be in the middle or towards your arm pit. But this lump is towards the middle of my chest. Please someone help me understand what it is??????????

I don't know much about this but I would see your family doctor in the first instance. He/she will send you for tests if required. Good luck, hope it's nothing serious.

Go to your GP. I found a large lump before and went to the GP who told me I just have lumpy breasts. She explained the difference between the type of lumps and showed me how I basically had a matching one on the other breast. It is probably nothing to worry about but there is no point ignoring it either. Get it checked out and have your mind out at rest.

Any of your Dr's should be able to help but GO immediately and have it checked out. I have "lumpy breasts" - but with Breast Cancer in my Family I get checked twice a year (OBYGN), and once a year I have a mamogram w/ sonogram. I do both, since a mamogram can miss certain things - a lumpy breast is easy to determine via sonogram. Please get this checked out, don't ignore any signs.~

I agree with the others, go have it checked, immediately! I would probably go to my ob-gyn, but all that matters is that you do see a doctor as soon as possible.

Thanks all for replying, I will make an appt first time tomorrow morning. It may be a cyst because it has gotton bigger and warm to touch. I had a hard timr sleeping on the belly last night.

I'll keep you posted

There are lymph nodes in the area you are describing, but I would still get it checked out. I have numerous little lumpies there now, and had my OB/GYN check it out. He wasn't alarmed, but I'm still going to have my regular mamogram done on Wednesday. I want them to compare to the image to when I was fatter. It ALL feels different....

I also have a lump on my breast right on my breastplate. My ob gyn said it's just a cyst. But, go get checked out anyway. YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE!!!!!

Went to the doctor and it was a cyst, the doctor removed and put a drain and should have the band-aid on for another three weeks for my next visit. All is good.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
