Breast Cancer Signs and Symptoms May Include:

  • A lump or thickening in the breast or in the armpit
  • Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling, peeling, crusting, or redness
  • Change in breast size or shape, such as swelling, asymmetry, or newly inverted nipple (a nipple growing inward)
  • Nipple discharge which does not need to be expressed, but appears on its own and is clear or bloody

When to See a Doctor:

  • If you find a lump or other change in your breast, nipple, or armpit – even if a recent mammogram was normal – it is important to schedule an appointment with your doctor for prompt evaluation.
