When to see a doctor
By Mayo Clinic staffMake an appointment with your doctor for breast lump evaluation without delay if:
- The breast lump is new or unusual and feels different from surrounding tissue in that breast or tissue in your other breast.
- The breast lump doesn't go away after your next menstrual period.
- You notice the breast lump has changed — getting bigger, firmer or more defined from the surrounding breast tissue.
- You have bloody, possibly spontaneous, discharge from your nipple.
- You notice skin changes on your breast, such as redness, crusting, dimpling or puckering.
- Your nipple is turned inward (inverted), although it isn't normally positioned that way.
