Should I be overly concerned with this lump in my breast?

I’m 7 weeks PP. I breastfed for the first four but stopped after that due to mastitis. Today I felt a lump under my areola and it’s visible. I touched it firmly and milk came out. Is it just a duct in my breast before I go into full blown panic mode?

Ask your doctor/ community midwife not random people on the internet

I agree with the poster above. Go and get it checked. No need to panic but not worth ignoring either. Dr will likely see you and review it in a couple of weeks for any changes. The internet can’t do this for you.

Yes but it’s 4:30 on a Friday so will have to wait until Monday and I just wanted to see if anyone else had this after stopping breastfeeding.
