Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi I am 28 year old male I recently found a hard pea like lump behind my right nipple its very sore when I apply pressure to it. I also had a lump the exact same on my groin but it went away after a few weeks. Could you give me any light on this matter to but my mind at ease. I just recently got my bloods done and had the all clear I assumed these lumps may have been lymph nodes
Dear David: From what you have explained it could be an abcess or an ingrown hair follicle since it is tender. However since it has been present i would advice you to err on the side of caution and get it investigated further with an ultrasoud/ needle biopsy of the same which will asisst in the diagnosis and susequent treatment plan.All the best. |
