    Is this area on your breast or under the breast on the chest wall. Are the black lesions part of the hidradenitis suppurativa?

    Is the area painful, throbbing? tender to touch?

    Are your lymph nodes painful or swollen?

    Can you feel a discrete mass?

    How old are you?

    I am a nurse practitioner in the States.

    Best Wishes.

      I am so glad you have an appointment with your physician. You will need a diagnostic mammogram and possibly an ultrasound on your breasts, ASAP. I have breast cancer.

      PLEASE, figure out a way to stop smoking. You are still young enough that it can make a huge difference in your quality of life. I lost my mother to lung cancer, and just lost a dear childhood friend to lung cancer.

      As a Registered Nurse in ICU, there were many patients with heart attacks and strokes caused by smoking.

      There are many medications to help you quit.

      Please let me know the outcome. I have cared for patients with HS. I hope you have a great physician who cares for you.

      Best Regards

      Merry Juliana

    go to the doctor and get a proper diagnosis. you will worry and not be happy until you do this. it may be nothing at all but you need to be sure because not all breast cancers are characterized by an obvious lump.
