Old Breast scars and lumps

Old Breast scars and lumps

I am only 22 and recently noticed a kind of lump on my breast.  The lump is directly underneath a scar that I received from a cat scratch when I was only 4.  It doesn't hurt and it isn't really round, it is more linear like the scar.  Could this lump be a result of my scar tissue growing along with my natural breast growth?

Hi,
It could be,but I don't think that a scratch from a cat would cause you to have a lump 18 years later.
It might be just coincidental that the lump happens to develop just under the scar.
Lumps in the breast are quite common at your age.Because of hormonal changes in the body, these lumps tend to enlarge before your menstrual cycle and shrink afterward.
If you see that the lump persists,I would recommend that you have it checked out by your family doctor.It could be a simple Cyst or a Fibroadenoma (Both benign lumps) but it's always better to make sure that there is nothing serious.
Please do see your Doctor if the lump persists.
Best wishes and take care...
