What Causes Lumps Under The Breast Skin?

I have just noticed several small(about the size and shape of a grain of rice) lumps just under the skin in both of my breasts. I can see them clearly if I stretch the skin tight. I have an appt to see my dr. Next week but obviously am worried. I m also still nursing my 18 month old.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Multiple lumps under the the skin in the breasts are likely to be fibroadenosis.
It is a benign disease and can occur in both breast feeding and non breast feeding females.
It can be treated by medications.
There is absolutely nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
