Breast Care
Signs and symptoms of breast cancer:
A change in size or shape of the breast
A lump or thickening that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue
Redness or a rash on the skin and/or around the nipple
A change in skin texture such as puckering or dimpling
Discharge (liquid) that comes from the nipple without squeezing
Nipple becoming inverted or changing its position or shape
A swelling in the armpit or around the collarbone
Constant pain in the breast or armpit
What to do if you find a change:
Most changes are likely to be normal or due to a benign (not cancer) breast condition
If you notice a change, visit a GP as soon as possible
A GP may feel there is no need for further investigation or may refer you to a breast clinic
If you do not feel comfortable with a male GP, ask if there is a female GP available
