HLL asks :

I have a weird lump growing on my right breast. it is at the bottom and if I look it is red around the bit that hurts. also, around the nipple it is kind of pimply. I have been getting mild breast pains for a while but I've never felt a lump anywhere.

Yin replies

You need to get this checked out as soon as possible! Call up your doctors for an appointment today and get this looked at, it could be nothing but its best to get examined. Put all of your bashfulness aside and go. You can request to speak to female doctor if you need to, the receptionist will be able to help you with this.

Classic symptoms of breast cancer are a lump and also dimpling or a rash around the nipple, which is why I urge you to go to put your mind at rest or get the relevant treatment you require.

Yang replies

Other symptoms include: a change to the size and shape of both breasts, discharge in either of your nipples, a lump in either of your armpits, a change in appearance of the nipple, such as it becoming sunken into the breast and pain in your breasts or armpits not related to your period.

Please let us know how you get on.
