Posted on Mon, 22 Jun 2015
Question: Found a lump in my left breast. I don't know if it's a lymph node or mass . I also have this bug bite sore that has been there for like two months surrounded by a dumpling resembling peau d orange . I don't have health insurance so going to the doctor means a great sacrifice , i don't want to spend the money if I'm just paranoid

Brief Answer:
Breast ultrasound is advisable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This does not look like an inflammatory breast cancer. But every lump found in the breast can be a sign of cancer for sure. You can not ignore it. And no one is able to tell if the lump you have found is a cancer or cyst. You need to have proper diagnostics. Your life may depend on it.

That is why, even without an insurance, you really should visit a doctor and have breast ultrasound done. Leaving it alone is too risky.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
