Breast lump

hi, I was wondering if anybody could give me any advice- I am also going to book a GP app. I have discovered a very small but hard pea lump to the side of my nipple within my areola. It is smooth and pain free and I cannot move it around. Does it sound like a blocked duct or something like that or something to worry about? 

  • Hi Hannah2012

    Sorry to hear that you've found a lump. Whilst it's not uncommon to have some lumps and bumps, it's always a good idea to get them checked out by your GP who will be able to take any necessary steps if tests or a referral are needed. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for an appointment and that you get some positive news. 

    Best wishes,
