View allI'm feeling anxious about a hard lump I've noticed in the upper left area of my chest, close to my left breast. It feels almost like a bone or something solid just beneath the skin. Whenever I touch it, I'm reminded of how hard it is, and it's got me pretty worried. Could it be something serious? What might be causing this?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient. USG of the lump,FNAC and microscopy for mitotic cells , biopsy and complete blood count ,esr and C-reactive protein is advised to the patient.

I've been diagnosed with fibroadenoma and complex cysts along with ductal ectasia in both breasts. What kind of medication would help manage this? Is surgery necessary, or are there other treatment options? Who should I consult for this a general physician or a specialist?
For your diagnosed conditions (fibroadenoma, complex cysts, and ductal ectasia in both breasts), medication is not typically the primary treatment. Instead, watchful waiting, monitoring, and in some cases, surgical or minimally invasive procedures may be recommended. You should consult with a specialist, specifically a breast surgeon or a specialized breast clinic for the best course of action
