Hi, I am Neha, two days back my boyfriend found lump on his chest (near lift nipple). It pains only when touched. He is 28 years old. He consulted doctor and have got appointment for tomorrow for mamogram and some other tests. My friend is quite fit. he exercises regularly, plays football. Can you please tell me what this lump can be. He doesn t have any family cancer history. Thanks in advance.
Hi NEA! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Any lump on the chest is not necessarily a cancer. It is good to be vigilant, but not obsessive. This could be just a boil or an infected cyst. So, have patience and get it assessed clinically and radiologically if need be by a general surgeon. Father course of action would depend on the result of both clinical assessment and related investigations. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish your boyfriend an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
