Question 1

hard and solid lump under my right nipple. is this breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Any lump of breast in adult   breast  including male ( 1% of breast cancers are in men ) should be considered as malignant  lesion unless proved other wise, you must see your  family doctor doctor, if needed will refer to a specialist.

Question 2

i feel that i may be developing breast cancer. i feel a hard painless lump in my left nipple that is small.may have been caused by a form of horseplay known as nipple twisting that i had happen to me in teen years.is this lump cancer or scar tissue?

Accepted Answer

We just visited : If your nipple got really purple, I will bet it is scar. Or it may well be gynecomsstia. Your cancer risk is near zero, and if this is cancer, it will enlarge or ulcerated. Show your physician on your next office visit or if you want it removed.

Question 3

what r the signs of breast cancer since i feel one lump right under my nipples is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There are some breast lumps that may be benign and some may be malignant. If this is a new mass, i would suggest seeing your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 4

i feel a small lump in my breast near my nipple. i am 18 years old male. should i be worried about breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Watch and wait: Breast cancer is unlikely. You may watch and wait. If the lump more than doubles in size, ulcerates, bleeds, becomes fixed or painful, see a doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

if a man gets breast cancer, does he first have to have a lump of non-cancerours breast gland material under the nipple (that later turns cancerous?)?

Accepted Answer

No: Man can have a mass that is  cancerous as his initial presentation - does not have to have a benign nodule first.

Question 6

my left breast nipple going downward, is painful it has changed how it use to look and i feel a small lump but somedays i do not feel it is it possible breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. In light of change in symptoms and appearance, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 7

how can you tell a normal lump under a guy's nipple vs. a symptom of male breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

No normal lump: Any lump under the nipple is abnormal and should be examined by a doctor and likely biopsied to exclude cancer.

Question 8

can breast cancer lump or lesion develop fast as overnight!? i had a normal annual mammogram two months ago. i had something develop overnight on my nipple few weeks ago. going to get tests done along with biopsy at end of month?

Accepted Answer

: Unlikley that a cancer lump develops overnight but it could be there and not noticed until suddenly one day. Getting tests and a biopsy is the best route to go.

Question 9

is it possible to have breast cancer without lumps? can other things factor into it such as indentation, nipple changes, etc.?

Accepted Answer

See breast doctor.: Dimpling of the skin and/or nipple inversion are both breast changes that can be associated with breast cancer, therefore, i recommend that you see your primary care doctor for a referral to a breast specialist.  Depending on your age and examination findings, they may want to get a mammogram +/- ultrasound.  Of course, there are many false alarms, but it's better to prove that it's not a cancer.

Question 10

breast lump under nipple in 14 yr old male, could i have breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: ..But not impossible. Furthermore, it could be something else of importance so i suggest it gets checked.  Best to y'all.
