What Causes Painful Hard Growth Below The Breast?

Hi. Ive had a skin tag under my left breast for the last 5 or so years. Its grown a little over the years but hasnt really been a problem. A few days ago Ive noticed that its grown and now has a wart like hard type bottom and the top is a blackish color. It has also gotten raw at times and is painful at times not just irritating but sore to the touch.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

This is probably a fibroadenoma which is a benign breast growth and usually there is a slow size progression over he years. I think that at this point you should do breast ultrasound and have a biopsy to be sure that this is not something more serious. Then it can be removed under local anesthesia by a general or plastic surgeon. In every case it doesnt sound serious to me if this lasts for more than 5 years.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
