These lumps are rigid, hard or tender, which don’t move when you press against them.

10. Dimpled Breast Tissue

Thickening which feels different from the surrounding tissue can even occur in the early stages of breast cancer development. For example, the skin over the breast area may become red, dimpled, or appear pitted—it might look similar to the outer skin that covers an orange.

 

 

If this cancer is detected early it is the best hope of surviving. It becomes extremely important to do routine self-exams of the breasts to identify any lumps, also annual checkups and mammograms become very essential to stay safe.
