Lump the size of a thumb on side of L breast

I have a lump on the side of my left breast.  It is located about 3:00 and hurts if I press on it and at times burns and itches...Any ideas on what this may be?  Has anyone else delt with this type of thing??  Thanks!!  XOXO

Thanks so much for responding.  I had an ultrasound sone today but they said that they could not get a very good pic. they want me to have a mamogram done soon.  They said it felt braided and about 1" long.  I do not know of anyone in my family with bc only fibroadenoma.  Thanks again!

Hi.
How are you?
It is possible that the lump in your left breast is a fibroadenoma.  This is a benign breast mass can be influenced by hormonal changes in the body.  However, you need to consult your doctor for proper evaluation.  Breast cancer also presents with a lump in the breast and should be ruled-out.
Take care.
