What breast lumps (cancerous) look like?

People are more or less paranoid about breast cancer now a days with lot of media information and celebrity involvement. Whether it is good or bad is difficult to say because on one hand the awareness is more but on the other hand, just like you, people are more and more worried just about anything on the breast or even imaginary things.

There is so much encouragement for self examination of breast. But according to a study it turned out that only a very few patients who suspected breast cancer due to self examination were actually found to have breast cancer.

About your problem. The lesion which looks like an acne or pimple has very very little chance of being a breast cancer. In the initial stages it is usually felt like some painless lump (not like pimple but more flatter inside the breast). It is more seen in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. So in your case I don't think you need not worry. I think it will disappear in a few days. If so forget about it. But if it does not, it is advisable to have a check up with your gynec just to be reassured. It is rare for teenagers to have breast cancer.

hi im rev, you answer one of my question before about the life of 1800's. i am interesting with your question about breast lumps. i am 22, and had an operation on my left breast. i found it after two weeks of my menstruation...i am afraid but i need to face it. I will advice to have a check up first.Most of teenager are benign not cancerous. Thank God and now im ok. almost 1month are past. Add me if you want... mcfloat_agdana@yahoo.com

dont worry the ages 45-55 are the most victim of breast cancer.

Although any lump formed by body cells may be referred to technically as a tumor. Not all tumors are malignant (cancerous). Most breast lumps – 80% of those biopsied – are benign (non-cancerous).

I mean, what does it look like or does it appear near the nipple?

I'm confuse about breast cancer lumps.

This past days, I feel that my breasts were a bit achy. Perhaps caused by my tight bra or these lumps. These lumps near my nipple (left breast) look like acne or pimple and am not...

If your a teenager it's most likely a cause of your development. Breast cancer is EXTREMELY rare in teenagers but possible. Here's an image of breast cancer: http://abcnews.go.com/images/Health/abc_illustrati... if you think you have it then get your butt over to a doctor and find out.

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

Get Rid Of Acne Permanently?

I know only one girl who have been diagnosed with some cancer in her vagina, best thing was that it was diagnosed in the early stage and after chemotherapy she recovered and she came back to life very soon. So its a sincere advise instead of discussing this on this forum, consult some proper doctor.

Cancer lumps don't 'appear'. They are 'felt'. Cancer lumps are inside the mammary gland (breast). Here is a link that can help:

Well, I'm not sure what exactly they look like- maybe google it, although it might be gross. But what I do know is that if you do a self-examination, they feel like frozen peas. Good luck. =)

Just give me a ring and I'll be sure to test them out for you. lol j/k

Go to a doctor.
