A member asked:

Hello,i have fibroadenoma on my breast.nowdays my doctor said that put ichthammol on your breast.can it be side-effect,if i put this cream?

Does not add up!: How does your doctor know it is fibroadenoma without removing the tissue and having a pathologist examine it . Even if it is a fibroadenoma, applying something to the skin of the breast is not going to cure it. You may wish to consult a different doctor.

Do doctors write clinical notes that I don't see. I can't find my fibroadenoma on my medical history. It just says I called in with a question about my breast finding from my breast exam, but it doesn't elaborate.
