Hard Nodule on TE

I just felt two small, hard nodules directly under my skin on top of the TE. It almost feels like a nail, sharp and round. I have had the TE in since August. My skin is really thin and the bumps run just above the scar line and stick out a bit. What would cause this? Could this be something inside the TE or more cancer? Do I see breast surgeon or plastic surgeon? Thank you.

    Ann - I would head for which ever will work you in soon for an appointment. Hopefully it's nothing, but also better to get it looked at and not have to wait around.

    Ann I had the same thing. It was the edges of the expander poking out because my skin is so thin. But to be safe and ease your mind make an appointment with your BS. I luckily had an appointment around the time I noticed them.

    Thank you both. I had to reschedule my apt due to corona virus so guess it will have to wait until this crisis blows over
