A member asked:

I have a lump in my breast that is getting bigger and more painful to the touch. what could it be?

Exam needed: An early abscess, blocked duct, rapidly growing growth are possibilities. Get examined as soon as possible by your physician, gynecologist or a breast surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime apply warm compresses.
