Breast Cancer Can Show Up Without a Lump: 8 Warning Signs to Know
A breast lump is a common warning sign, but breast cancer can also cause less obvious changes. Most breast changes are not cancerous, but new or persistent symptoms should be checked by a health professional. Watch for a nipple that suddenly turns inward, dimpling or orange-peel-like skin, unexplained discharge, or sudden redness, warmth and swelling. A new change in breast size or shape may also need medical assessment. Other signs include a rash or crusting around one nipple that does not clear, persistent pain in one specific area, and unexplained swelling in the armpit or near the collarbone. These symptoms can have non-cancer causes, but they should not be ignored. Breast cancer may have no noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Attend recommended screenings for your age and risk level, and seek medical advice if you notice an unusual change.
