Breast surgeon: After you have your mammogram schedule a consult with a breast surgeon to find out what this problem is.

Difficult to: speculate with limited information. You will probably end up getting an ultrasound in addition to the mammogram. The next steps depend on the results. Needle biopsy and/or evaluation by a breast surgeon may be needed.
