Know the signs.
Breast cancer is incredibly common—it affects one in eight women—so it's vital to know the signs so you can spot any breast changes ASAP. When you check for a lump , you might miss one of the signs of breast cancer: skin dimpling.You probably already know the most common sign of breast cancer: a lump in the breast.
But lumps aren't the only breast changes that could signal cancer. Breast cancer can also show up as changes in skin texture, changes in breast color, peeling or flaking of the nipple skin or surrounding area, changes in the size or shape of one or both breasts, changes in appearance of one or both nipples, nipple discharge , swelling or tenderness of the breast or breasts, redness, or persistently irritated or itchy breasts, says dermatologist Keira L. Barr, M.D.
You don’t necessarily have to perform monthly self-exams to stay up-to-date on any changes. “The American Cancer Society and other guidelines do not recommend that women perform breast self-exams on a routine basis, but they do recommend that women are aware of their breast health and how their breasts feel,” says Lum.
