Brief Answer:
This appears like a fibroadenoma of breast

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concerns about hardness in breast.

From your description, this appears like fibroadenoma of breast.

This is a small hard fibrous tissue which develops in some women. This needs to be surgically removed.

Please get a mammogram X ray done and see a surgeon. Surgeon will be better able to identify it and advice removal or further tests based on examination.

This is not dangerous and dont be worried.
