What if you have one hot swollen breast?
One hot swollen breast can possibly be mastitis, a benign breast infection, BUT if one round of antibiotics does not help, insist on a skin or punch biopsy to rule out IBC. Symptoms of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) may include redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast, often without a distinct lump in the breast. The redness and warmth are caused by cancer cells blocking the lymph vessels in the skin. The skin of the breast may also appear pink, reddish purple, or bruised. The skin may also have ridges or appear pitted, like the skin of an orange (called peau d'orange), which is caused by a buildup of fluid and edema (swelling) in the breast. Other symptoms include heaviness, burning, aching, increase in breast size, tenderness, or a nipple that is inverted (facing inward) (3). These symptoms usually develop quickly—over night or over a period of weeks. Swollen lymph nodes may also be present under the arm, above the collarbone, or in both places. However, it is important to note that these symptoms may also be signs of other conditions such as infection, injury, or other types of cancer (1). You should see a doctor to rule out IBC.

Do deodrant cause breast cancer?
Antiperspirant and Breast CancerStudies show no relationship between the use of antiperspirants and deodorants and the development of breast cancer. However, there have also been some suggestions that a substance in antiperspirants can mimic estrogen in the body, which is a causative factor in certain types of breast cancer.AnswerThe above poster gave you good advice. I just wanted to add that instead of spending a fortune or taking any risks I use baking soda under my arms. There is no smell and any perspiration is absorbed. Baking soda is natural. You could put it in a talc bottle with tiny holes on the lid. If this doesn't appeal to you then go to a Natural Health Food Store that handles herbal underarm deodorants.
