Spotting Breast Cancer Early: What to Look For and How to Check
Most people think of lumps when they hear the words “breast cancer”, and yes that's one symptom; but there are many others to look out for. Download our easy-to-follow infographic that shows all the signs to keep an eye on.
Here are some other signs and symptoms worth checking for:
- A lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit
- A change to the skin, such as puckering or dimpling
- A change in the colour of the breast - may look darker, red or inflamed
- A nipple change, for example it has become pulled in (inverted)
- Rash or crusting around the nipple
- Unusual liquid (discharge) from either nipple
- Changes in size or shape of the breast
How to Check: Just Remember TLC
There's no special way to check and you do not need any training.
Checking your breasts can be easy as TLC:
Touch your breasts: can you feel anything new or unusual?
Look for changes: does anything look different to you?
Check any new or unusual changes with a GP
