how can you tell

My sister is 35 years old, she was doing a self breast exame and found a lump like in the center of her two brest  it  has become very painful end the skin now looks a little discolored. they said they thought it my be a cyst due to an injury  or something said that it was imflamed and put her on aome medicine     could this be a form of cancer

Since your sister evidently has seen her Physician about this finding and has been treated I would doubt that cancer would be a consideration. I would guess that the medication you mentioned might be an antibiotic to reduce the inflammation of the cyst. Pain is not a symptom of breast cancer when a palpable lump is the issue and cysts aren't a form of cancer.  Regards .....

Hi,

Is the lump between her two breasts?  Has she seen a dr?  Who prescribed the medicine and what is it?  

If you can answer those questions, I will try to offer more of an opinion.  Others will also chime in as well, I'm sure.
