A member asked:
Red swollen lump under my nipple. could this be cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a woman: A lump under the nipple needs to be seen, perhaps a mammogram done, and biopsied. Not all are cancers, some are. For a man, benign causes more likely, but primary or even testis cancer a prospect. Need an exam, discuss possibilities and next steps regardless.
