Hi,
You have got very good advice from katarina777, .I agree with her that you shouldn't be scared.This bump looks like an infection to me too ,and nothing to do with breast cancer.
Take care...

hi, it's nothing serious and  you cqan stope worrying and it's not cancer, OK. That does not mean it does not hurt and/or scare you; that is normal. If you get this again, the next time will be less scary?

I think what I am seeing is a boil and there is infection in it that should come out. Running hot water over it in the shower may open this up.

If it doesn't open you should see your doctor who may need to lance it so the pus comes out completely. This is mostly something you want to do, or the doctor will do if it doesn't open by itself, for cosmetic reasins. You do not want the boil to start drying out and leaving a raised mark? This has happened to me on my leg.

Again, don't worry, OK? i would have it checked out unless it opens up and becomes smaller in the next day, or so,

Best, Katrin

Oh my apologies, It actually is kinda starting to get sensitive to press on,
Its not soft, but not hard really, kinda in between.
It appears white-yellowish in the middle, but it seems like its inside it. but its not i think cause i cant squeeze it or anything, nothing oozes from it, no itchiness, Nothing really. Its just very embarassing because its getting larger than from when i first noticed it.
I hope this helps.

Hi there, you failed to describe what the bump felt like, perhaps tender,or hard, or even if it's painful. It might be a little dicey jumping into conclusion.
It might be a little difficult learning the truth from a gynaecologist, and I don't think you shouldn't scare yourself to death before the first appointment.

I strongly enjoin you to see a gynaecologist ASAP.
And don't worry, am sure it's fine
Take care.
