    Hi Xhoi!

    Usually, if the mass increases before your period, and then decreases in size right after your period, it is a benign, non-cancerous, cyst. The mass is influenced by the fluctuating hormones.

    Breast cancer is usually not painful, but breast cysts are.

    You still need to to be evaluated by your physician. I am a retired Nurse Practitioner.

    Best Wishes!

    Merry Juliana

    Lumps near the areola can be skin tissue. It might not entirely be cancer, i think its best to get it checked out. I think its normal to experience this, it could be veins, or muscle or skin issues. Get it checked out by your doctor.
