No. 3: Breast Changes Most women know their breasts well, even if they don't do regular (self-exams), and know to be on the lookout for lumps. But that's not the only breast symptom that could (point to) cancer. Redness and thickening of the skin on the breast, which could indicate a very rare but aggressive form of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, also needs to be examined, Linden says. "If you have a rash that (persists) over weeks, you have to get it evaluated," she says. Likewise, if the look of a nipple changes, or if you notice (discharge) (and aren’t breastfeeding), see your doctor. "If it's outgoing normally and turns in," she says, that's not (a good sign). "If your nipples are inverted chronically, no big deal." It's the change in appearance that could be a worrisome symptom. If you have breast changes, expect your doctor to take a careful history, examine the breast, and order tests such as a mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, and perhaps a biopsy.
