Breast lump

2020-10-15 22:58:13
Hi, I would like to understand who am I to contact. Which specialist would be able to help me. Problem: I have a abscess on my left breast which has turned to be like a coin sized lump. It is painful and also seems like a cluster of lumps. It needs diagnosis and incision. Who should I consult? What is the cost of such incision and drainage of the abscesses.

Firstly you need to meet a general surgeon. Get an examination, ultrasound scan. Then can plan for a I & D or lump excision. Costs will wary with type of hospital, whether under local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia(admission required).
