My sister had breast cancer within the last 2 years and cancer runs in my family...but I just want to throw this out there and see what you guys think.

I have a small painful lump in the aeroela part of my breast near the nipple. Could this be a sign of breast cancer??

Any information that you guys can throw at me would be greatly appreciated!!

You should get it checked out to be safe.

Yes man can get breast cancer, the famous actor from Shaft Richard Roundtree when he was diagnosed and had a mastectomy and treatment he was very public and helped many men.
I personally knew a patient with Breast cancer he was also in our support group.
Having said that, it can be all kind of things. Go to a specialist and have it checked.

Thanks for your replies. Luckily the lump seems to be going down in size...over the last week or so...but I will still go and get it checked out. I think it may have just been a skin infection.
