A member asked:
Just had a breast core biopsy. what is the chance in future internal scar tissue occurs and feels like lump? or is there no scarring with core biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scarring unlikely: Take it easy for a few days so that you don't get bruising. A bruise would cause a short-term lump to form.
