A member asked:

What to do if i have 5 cystic nodules on my breast, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usual: But it is not necessarily an indication of an underlying disease. I would discuss with your primary care physician or consider dermatological evaluation. A biopsy may be performed for a definitive diagnosis.
