    Lump under bra wire

    So is it pretty common to get lumps where your bra wire sits? I've never felt one before and found it three days ago, not at the end of the wire but about an inch and a half around from there along the line the wire sits on. If that makes sense?

    Could be something completely harmless like a cyst or a lymph node that's enlarged in response to a virus or something but prolly a good idea to get it checked by your Doctor.

    Does it go away after having your bra off for a while?

    Any lump is worth having checked, just in case.

    Sometimes its easier to feel than other times especially when I lay down . I haven't tried a bra free day yet the longest time without one was about 12 hours (afterwork till morning) and I could still feel it.
    it's like a small oval shape.

    Perhaps I should book in with the local GP. Hate not having my own doctor since moving.

    Thought I should update ~ went to doctors this week and been told its most likely a sweat gland cyst as the skin can not be moved away from the lump. I can wait and see if it causes a problem or get it surgically removed.

    Danielle did they do an ultrasound or anything, or just look at it?

    Can you ditch your underwire bras? Maybe just wear them on special occasions.

    She just looked at it and tried to
    Move it around. I do try and go braless when home for the day but it feels ultra strange lol
