What Do Pain And Tenderness Under The Breasts Indicate?

On my left breast under the nipple about 0.5cm down, when I run my finger across, it feels like there is a splinter feeling. I cant see anything but hurts when I touch it in that area. I had it checked a few weeks ago and there is no lumps. However the sensation is still there.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be a benign breast lump.

You can consult a general surgeon and plan for a mammogram. If anything suspicious is seen, you can go for a fine needle biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
