Throughout the years we have all been taught about looking for a lump in our breasts. Yes, this education has saved many lives BUT what we haven't been taught are the various types of breast cancers there are and we need to not only FEEL for the symptoms but LOOK for them.
Any changes in one's breast should be brought to the attention of a physician or breast specialist. Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is usually diagnosed by it's clinical symptoms, meaning what you can actually see. What appears to be a rash or an insect bite, IF it doesn't go away within a week with creams or salves, please insist on a skin biopsy or a punch biopsy. These tests are done in the physician's office and are non-invasive.
Inflammatory Breast cancer (IBC) usually does NOT present itself with a lump so mammograms and ultrasounds most likely will not detect this disease. IBC grows in sheets and nest (picture the cancer growing horizontally).

Does it mean cancer if you have a lump under your arm and on your breast?
Lumps and Breast CancerIn answer to this question, no, it doesn't necessarily mean a teenager has breast cancer if she/he has a lump in each breast! You don't have to have a lump to have breast cancer. If there is a lump, it could be a cyst and for teens all breast examinations, feeling for changes and LOOKING for changes should be done after menstruation. If the lump remains after menstruation she/he should be seen by a doctor. There are many people who have fibrocystic breasts. To make sure this is a cyst, the doctor can perform a needle biopsy which is non-invasive.
