“Breast cancer?”
I have had lumps in my breast right behind my nipple on my left breast. It has started hurting really bad the last 3 months and I have what looks like a really dark bruise next to my nipple. The lumps don't itch. I'm worried about breast cancer.

You should ask your doctor for a mammogram and ultrasound soon.
Hello, you are asking about the necessary tests that you will need to diagnose the reason that you developed a lump in your left breast. The list of possibilities is significant. However, the best test is a fine needle aspirate of the lump. It would be best to consult your physician who can either perform the biopsy or refer you to the appropriate physician to perform the biopsy.
You probably need a diagnostic mammogram & a consult by a breast specialist. It may be a benign fibroadenoma. Just get a medical consult to be sure.
