Myth: Breast Cancer Always Appears as a Lump
A lump is not the only sign of breast cancer. Watch for any changes in how your breasts look or feel. See your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following: a change in the shape or size of the breast; an area that feels thick; a dimpled or puckered appearance to the skin; an itchy, scaly area; nipple discharge; pain in one spot; swelling or redness of the breast; or an inverted (pulled inward) nipple, if it has never appeared that way before.
