Q Hi, im a 26 year female, who as of 3 days ago, developed a "smushy" mass about the size of a quarter, half and inch above my right nipple. It is painful when pressing down on it, and has caused a redness to spread about an inch above the mass. It definitely feels fluid filled to me. I hve been working out alot this past month, and start my menstrual cycle on 1/28/11.....2 days after the mass appeared. In 2004 i had breast reduction surgery,where they removed the entire nipple/aerola and created a new one, and hve had no problems since. What could this be? Im very worried!
You are probably suffering from a breast cyst or abscess. Visit a physician to get it drained and start on a corse of antibiotics. Cysts can commonly occur as a result of hormonal changes.
