But that may surprise you to learn that a rash can also report breast cancer.
"It is important to keep in mind that most of the breast rashes are not too worrying," saidShelly Beckley, APN, nurse practitioner in oncology and responsible for clinical support atResults4me. "I always recommend women to contact their medical team whenever they notice a change in their breasts, whether it is a new bump or a rash."

Here is when calling your doctor on a rash.
"We don't know why Paget's disease occurs and why rashes appear," said Beckley. "The breast cancer which is often with Paget disease is canal in nature - Subalen carcinoma in situ or invasive canal carcinoma - and it has been thought that cancer cells are moving into the milk channels to the nipple and the areola surrounding that causes eruption, "she explains. With IBC, Beckley notes that "cancer develops fairly quickly and spreads to the lymphatic system of the breast as well as the skin, which causes the rash".
Beckley recommends women to ask for a doctor when they notice a change in their breasts, including rashes or pieces. "If you are seen for a rash on the breast and it does not improve and does not solve with the treatment, let you know your medical team," she said. "The changes to nipples or breast pain - as well as any new or aggravated rash - are all the symptoms that women should take seriously and check with their doctors."
Self-exams are essential for breast health.
Since certain symptoms of breast cancer are not always apparent, Beckley advises screening and examinations - and familiarize yourself with your body. "My strongest recommendation is to be aware of your body and carry out monthly seed exams, especially by looking at your breasts in a mirror," she suggests. "Know how your breasts feel and what they will look like to notice changes over time."
In addition, be aware of your risk factors for breast cancer. "It is important to know your family history of cancer and if you could be more at risk of breast cancer," says Beckley. The American Cancer Society offersScreening guidelines; Women aged 40 to 44 can opt for annual mammograms, while women 45-54 should obtain mammography each year. Women over 55 can choose to continue the annual mammograms or decide to do so every two years.
Beckley advises women to follow their recommended guidelines andHealthy lifestyle choice. "Mammary health also shares similarities with global health, especially following aBalanced diet, sleep enough, exercise, reduce stress, limitalcohol consumption, and not [using tobacco], ”she says.
