Yes I know what Subcutaneous mean it means that it is between in the dermal layer of tissue above the layer of muscle tissue. This is some thing you my have on going all your life it is one of those odd things the human body can do and you just my have a spot in your body that over produces a specific type of cell you my have to repeatedly treat it the same why or you can get a second opinion which is always good

This does not necessarily indicate cancer, but it is extremely appropriate to see a doctor.  There are a few causes of lumps in the breast, many of which are benign.  However, seeing a doctor will not only diagnose your problem, it will also help to ease your mind.

Yes, you absolutely have to go to the doctor. They happen all the time. And they are easy for a doctor to remove. It is probably a localized lymph node infection or a dermoid cyst. or maybe it is even a ganglion cyst. But you need to have it removed. \n\nInternet diagnosis isn't reliable. You need to talk to a doctor.

They said benign? That means non-cancerous. I've had two lumps removed from my right breast. Both were benign. I'm not sure about the debris. My mammogram tech has never been so detailed. Have you had a sonogram yet? If you feel it-have it removed. It's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck.

I've had many cysts and yes, I get them aspirated and yes, they can (and mine have) filled back up again.  Some cysts have come back numerous times.\n\nI've also had a lumpectomy for breast cancer....7 years ago.

All lumps MUST be immediately checked up. Its good that you are going to a doc. It can be a benign cyst. Dont worry too much. Wait for the prognosis. And best of luck !

It's a cyst , my ex-husband has one as well.\nI bet the white stuff smells bad too. He can see a Dr. and they can remove it completely.

No, a cyst does not mean cancer...

A cyst is a closed pocket or pouch of tissue. It can be filled with air, fluid, pus, or other material.\n\nThere are lots of types of cysts – ovarian cysts (in ovary), sebaceous cysts(under the skin), baker’s cyst (behind the knee), Nabothian cyst ( cysts on uterine surface), cysts in the ear, vaginal cysts, cysts in liver, spleen, kidney etc., exudation cysts, \n\nCysts may form within any tissue in the body. Cysts within the lung generally are air-filled, while cysts involving the lymph system or kidneys are fluid-filled. Migrating parasites -- such as trichinosis, dog tapeworm (Toxocara canis), and echinococcus -- form cysts within muscle, liver, brain tissue, the lungs, and the eye.\n\nCysts are common on the skin and develop as a result of infection, clogging of sebaceous glands, or around foreign bodies. They can also result from developmental abnormalities such as a pilonidal cyst (pilonidal dimple).\n\nHow cysts are formed – Each different type of cyst have different causes and different ways of being formed. \n•Cutaneous cysts which include epidermal inclusion c., epidermoid c., and the epidermal cyst, are usually found on the face, neck, or back. Those that are traumatic inclusion cysts are more likely to expand in area. These type of cysts contain keritinized material and are lined by keratinizing squamous epithelieum. \n•Extravasation cysts develop from blood found in tissues that are surrounded by a definite wall. \n•Retention cysts are tumor-like, and are formed when the outlet to a gland becomes blocked, and the gland continues to secrete. They may be found in mammary tissue, pancreas, kidney, salivary, mucous membranes and sebaceous glands.\n•Parasitic cysts are those that form around larval stage parasites that enter the body. Usually seen in the liver, these cysts are referred to as hydatid cysts.\n•Exudation cysts are formed through slow seepage of exudate material into a closed cavity.

It most likely is a harmless cyst if it's been there for that long and hasn't caused any problems.  If it's changed shape or size, though, it may be a cause for concern.  Either way, your doctor should be able to tell you what it is and whether you need to worry about it.  Better to be safe than sorry.

No, usually pain in the breasts is not cancer. I had the same problem and it just cysts. You get cysts around the time of your period. If you are worried go see your obgyn.

If it is just a little bit scaly or the skin is thin in this area it could very well be skin cancer.......but the good news is it may at this point only have penetrated the skin......I had it and it was treated....a small spot on my back.....as soon as I felt it and it didn't go away for a week or so I went to the doctor.  (mine was a brown color too by the way)......\nOn something like this you need to act quickly and go to the doctor immediately.......you don't want it to go into your system...the longer you wait the more chances you are taking.\nBetter to be safe than sorry.............look up in google and as for pictures of skin conditions or skin cancer for pictures.  should be there.

A cyst is a closed sac- or bladder-like structure that is not a normal part of the tissue where it is found. Cysts are common and can occur anywhere in the body in persons of any age. Cysts usually contain a gaseous, liquid, or semisolid substance. Cysts vary in size; they may be detectable only under a microscope or they can grow so large that they displace normal organs and tissues. The outer wall of a cyst is called the capsuleCysts can arise through a variety of processes in the body, including: \n\n"Wear and tear" or simple obstructions to the flow of fluid \nInfections \nTumors \nChronic inflammatory conditions \nGenetic (inherited) conditions \nDefects in developing organs in the embryo \nThe majority of cysts are benign, but some may produce symptoms due to their size and/or location. Rarely, cysts can be associated with malignant tumors (cancers) or serious infections. If you're concerned about any abnormal swelling or "lump," talk to your doctor. He or she can recommend appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the cause of the cyst.Polycystic ovarian disease (PCO), also known by the name Stein-Leventhal syndrome, is a hormonal problem that causes women to have a variety of symptoms including:\n\nIrregular or no periods \nAcne \nObesity, and \nExcess hair growth. \nAny of the above symptoms and signs may be absent with the exception of irregular or no periods. All women with PCO will have irregular or no menses. Women who have PCO do not regularly ovulate; that is, they do not release an egg every month. This is why they do not have regular periods. No one is quite sure what causes PCO. However, the ovaries of women with PCO frequently contain a number of small cysts, hence the name poly (many) cystic ovarian disease. A similar number of cysts may occur in women without PCO. Therefore, the cysts themselves do not seem to be the cause of the problem. A malfunction of the body's blood sugar control system (insulin system) is frequent in women with PCO. The result is an inadequate response to insulin (insulin resistance) that can lead to abnormally elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels. The insuliin disturbance is thought to also be the trigger for the development of symptoms such as acne and excess hair growth that is seen with PCO.

Cyst - Cancer?\n\nWhat seems nowadays called cancer may not necessarily be cancer as far as life energy is concerned. True cancer has a certain form of life energy seen on Tesla-Kirlian photographs research by Thelma Moss, in the 1970s). Nine out of nine people diagnosed for cancer had no cancerous life energy!\n\nBefore trying the hard way I would try the soft ways first if I were your relative. \n\nMay be a second opinion would be advisable; may be a consultation with a physician who is familiar with natural healing (NMD, ND, homeopathic physician; phone book). A woman diagnosed with "breast cancer" had a fatty tumor (accumulation of indigestible fats from eating cheese with hydrogenated fats, transfats), which the physician confirmed after being asked specifics.\n\nFear is certainly the worst to get well.\n\nThere may be ways to allow the body to heal unmutilated.\n\nA diet change may be necessary to allow the body to become alkaline (urine and saliva). When the body is alkaline (urine and saliva at 7.5 at all times), the body is likely to heal. A roll of pH paper to measure the pH is available at health food stores (about $12). There are books on alkaline-forming foods, there are alkaline-forming products! Baking soda is not advisable, since it is far too alkaline for the body and can hurt the stomach!\n\nDinshah Color MedicineTM has been used in the past to shrink tumors. The colors have certain frequencies, one of which has dissolved tumors in the past (see http://www.biochakra.com). It is a method easy to use at home, which I found very effective. There are books on this matter, e.g. Color Medicine by Charles Klotsche (may be second hand at amazon.com, or barnesandnoble.com) or Let there be Light by Darius Dinshah. These books tell you how to use the frequencies properly. Advanced hospitals in Europe use color healing, whereas only blue is used in US hospitals so far. Yet, the coats of the surgeons are green, because this color hinders microorganisms. There must be something to color healing! Imagine when one uses a light with the colors instead of just a cloth: it is healing with the speed of light, literally! The correct frequency is important.\n\nFurthermore, homeopathy has remedies which have worked in the past when nothing else had. \n\nYet, when the harsh methods are used first, the body has a harder time to absorb the gentle ones. \n\nEven the Philippine healers have worked miracles with energy from their bare hands.\n\nMiracles have happened, there is always a good solution.\n\nWishing your father-in-law a gentle healing.\nCordially, India.Magica

I would definitely have it checked by a doctor.  I'm sorry to hear that you are hurting & what you have described is pretty painful.  I know how you are feeling b/c I get bumps (lesions) like this all the time and not just on my thighs.  \n\nHere's what I try on the lesions I get in that area:\n\n1.  Warm compresses to try to draw whatever is on the inside to the top.\n2.  Soaking in the bathtub helps, too ... But given where you are located that might be difficult for you.\n3.  If you can get some TEA TREE OIL, dab a little (not a lot ~ just a little bit) on the lesion itself with a cotton ball or Q-Tip.  This stuff smells really nasty, but should help to dry the lesion up pretty quickly.\n\nIs this the first time you have ever had one of these bumps come up?  If so, you could have a boil or a cyst.  I would definitely have it checked out by a medical professional ... But, if you get these things on a recurrent basis, you could have what I live with on a daily basis.\n\nI have a skin disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS, for short).  One of the characteristics are boil-like lesions that appear in any of the following areas:\n\nThighs\nGroin area\nButtocks\nBreasts\nUnderarms\n\nThe boils/lesions that I get are recurrent, appear in all of the locations noted above (not all at the same time, but I've had them everywhere), and, when cultured, contain no bacterial growth rendering antibiotics useless.  There is no specific treatment for my disease ~ just treating the lesions as they appear.  \n\nI am putting a couple of links to a few sites to check out.  They might be able to give you more information about whether this is a boil or something else.\n\nHope you are feeling better soon!\n\nThanks for being over there & hurry home safely ...

Was the discharge from the actual nipple or the coloured area surrounding the nipple? (click http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/aencmed/targets/illus/ilt/T059303A.gif to see a diagram)\nIf it's on the areola, it could be a clogged Montgomery gland (the small lumps on the areola surrounding the nipple). It is quite common to have blocked Montgomery glands.\nPaget's disease is a type of cancer that affects the areola, large ducts and nipple. It is a relatively rare form of breast cancer.\nIf it worsens, see your doctor.

It could be cyst, so don't try smashing it with a book, or breaking it open or anything like that.  You should probabaly have a physician look at it.  Not to scare you, but this how some cancers are found.  So if it is growing you should seek professional advice.
