When it comes to worrying about cancer, I completely understand your concern. Some warning signs of a malignant lump include a hard, irregular shape, skin dimpling, nipple retraction, or discharge. However, even if these signs aren’t present, it’s always best to see your doctor within a few days of finding a new lump.

Early evaluation brings peace of mind and, if needed, ensures treatment starts promptly the earlier breast conditions are detected, the better the outcomes.
