Make an appointment to have a breast lump checked, especially if:

• The lump is new and feels firm or fixed.
• The lump doesn't go away after 4 to 6 weeks. Or it has changed in size or in how it feels.
• You notice skin changes on your breast such as crusting, dimpling, puckering, or a change in color, including red and pink.
• Fluid comes out of the nipple. It might be bloody.
• The nipple recently turned inward.
• There is a new lump in the armpit, or a lump in the armpit seems to be getting bigger.
