Is it normal to be able to feel the lymph nodes in my chest during a check-up? Are chest lymph nodes usually noticeable by touch? I'm just trying to understand what's typical.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I've been dealing with pain and a burning sensation in my right nipple for about 45 days and mild pain in my right armpit for a few days. I've taken a lot of medicine, but nothing seems to help. I had a mammogram and an ultrasound done; the mammogram was all clear, but the ultrasound showed a well-defined oval hypoechoic lesion measuring 63 mm in the 34 clock position of my right breast. It also noted some bilateral axillary lymph nodes with preserved fatty hila that they said were insignificant. I also had my right ovary removed because of a dermoid cyst, and my left ovary is normal in size but shows multiple peripherally arranged follicles, and they said it appears polycystic. I'm really anxiouscould this possibly be cancer?
Based on your symptoms and test results, it's unlikely to be breast cancer, given the clear mammogram and ultrasound findings describing a small, well-defined hypoechoic lesion, which may be a benign cyst or fibroadenoma; however, the persistent nipple pain and burning warrant further evaluation by a breast specialist or a multidisciplinary team to rule out other conditions like ductal ectasia, periductal mastitis, or hormonal imbalances, which may be related to your history of ovarian issues, including the removed dermoid cyst and polycystic-appearing left ovary.
