Q: hello doc, i undergo a breast surgery last week and the result is benign. i was curious when i touch the the skin of the removed lump, it is quite hard. is this normal?

: An "excisional biopsy" of suspicious breast mass will compromise blood supply to the affected area, causing longer term swelling in the area of the biopsy, which should resolve slowly over time.
