Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Breast evaluation: New breast lumps should always be evaluated by a doctor. You can schedule a visit to have an exam and then imaging such as a mammogram or breast sonogram can be ordered. Great job doing a self breast exam and finding this.
