Know your body so you know when it’s changing. Between regular screenings or exams, pay attention for the following:
• A lump, hard knot or thickening in the breast
• A lump under your arm
• A change in the size or shape of a breast
• Nipple pain, tenderness or discharge, including bleeding
• Itchiness, scales, soreness or rash on the nipple
• A nipple turning inward or inverted
• A change in color and texture (dimpling, puckering or redness)
• A breast that feels warm or swollen
If something feels different or off, don’t be afraid to speak up or ask your health care professional questions
