Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Breast

I have a dime-sized hard pink lump that might be an insect bite. It s at the top of my right breast, so it is in a very sensitive spot. I m thinking it is an insect bite, but I ve never had one that has been hard like this one is. Should I be concerned, or see a doctor? It has been 3 days. I also had 2 on my back, and and another one on the back of my neck at my hairline, but they seem to be going away.

Hi, welcome to HealthCareMagic. An insect bite usually causes local cellulitis and it may present as a lump with pain. Please take a broad spectrum antibiotic like Tab. Amoxycillin + Clavulante 625mg three times a day with Tab. Metronidazole 400mg three times a day for 5 days and pain killers. Don't wear tight brassiere over the breast till it resolve. Hope you will get well soon.
