Is It Normal For A 6-year-old To Have Breast Lumps?
I have a six year old child and she has a hard knot behind her nipple of her left breast . I am conserved because there is a history of her great grandmothers on both sides of my family and my mother having breast cancer. Is there other things that can cause a hard knot there? Thank you for and information you can help me with until I can get her to the doctor.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This could be due to a lymph node reaction as a result to an underlying infection.. follow up on the limo and if it did not decrease in size within a couple of weeks then biopsy is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
