Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Normal intramammary lymph nodes may appear or enlarge in the breast as a reaction to inflammatory conditions of the skin but also as a reaction to metastatic involvement.
So,an evaluation by a breast surgeon I needed.
In most of the cases the lymph nodes can be removed by surgery.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
