Changes that are not normal
So you’re worried because you’ve noticed a change in your breasts and you’re wondering about breast cancer symptoms.
You probably already know this, but breasts change a lot throughout life. Puberty, getting pregnant, breastfeeding, getting older. All of these cause changes that are normal and healthy. But some changes aren’t.

Changes that are not normal
“One of the ones that folks know the most about, of course, is the lump, but there are others,” says Temeika Fairley, PhD, Senior Health Scientist at the CDC.
“Like any unusual rash on your breast that may be dimply. The skin could be flaky. Any discharge in the breast, blood or fluid, other than breast milk. When there is a change that’s unusual, follow up with your doctor as soon as possible.”
