Painful area

Hi, I have had a painful area on the underside of my left breast for about a month or so. I don't think I can feel any lump and the skin/shape looks normal, but the area is painful to the touch, like pressing on a bruise. I'm 37.

Would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks

Hi.
Most breast cancers present as a lump that either shows on a mammogram or can be felt by feeling the breast. Occasionally, breast pain can occur and it's rarely associated with cancer.However, breast pain can also occur for a variety of other reasons.You should consider seeing a breast specialist who can evaluate the pain and make recommendations as to its causes and possible interventions.Best wishes

Thanks for your reply zouzi, have been planning to see my gp about it for a little while, will take some affirmative action and make an appointment next week!
