I have a keloid on my breast which has become inflamed and sore, is it cancer?

I had a cyst removed from my breast over 4 years ago %26amp; this is the first time that it had been sore and tender, the doctor says it may be an ingrown hair or a pimple, but I think not. He poked at it and nothing came out, as well as the fact that I have had no menstrual cycle this month, but 2 pregnancy tests have come back negative. I am 38 years old could this be pre-menopausal symptoms?

i have a keloid on my breast too. mine came from a scratch caused by the underwire in my bra. i hate it but the best thing you can do is go see a dermatologist. it probably isnt cancerous but its a good idea to have it checked out first considering that even a mole can be cancerous. mine started small and now it's bigger than a half dollar coin. my doctor said i could get a biopsy and have it surgically removed, or receive monthly cortizone injections until it decreased in size, or just stopped growing. i choose the injections and even though it hasnt gone away completely, i dont suffer from anymore soreness, itching, or stinging...which can be really embarassing in public considering the location. it's has also softened and some parts have lightened in color and flattened completely. make sure to treat it while its small so you wont need so many injections with higher doses of cortizone, and it probably wont take as long to shrink in size.





the injections or made with a tiny needle filled with different doses of cortizone depending on the size of the keloid. as it shrinks in size so do the injections and dosages. they basically treat it like a regular shot by swabbing alcohol over it then injecting it, though usually more than once in different places to spread the medicine evenly, wipe off any blood, then put a bandage on it and your done. my doctor usually applies a spray to numb the area before the injections and i usually feel nothing after its over, except for a little soreness if touched. good luck!

Reply:I am not a doctor but if there is a rash with it, it may be a new strain of cancer that I just saw on the news. It is weird because I'm a guy and, every so often, I get itchy on my breast and sometimes a bumb forms but in the same spot. When I'm not itchy, I feel the spot where it was itchy the day before and nothing is there.
Reply:Not sure. But here is some encouraging latest news:





US scientists crack entire genetic code of breast and colon cancers





Research on cancer and the genetic code looks like it may at long last produce real breakthroughs
