When it comes to your breasts, lumps aren’t the only changes that should be reported to your GP.
Also look for any change in the size, shape or feel of a breast, a change to the skin texture, redness, a nipple change, or pain in the breast.
If you have breast changes, expect your GP to take a careful history, examine the breast and possibly refer you to a specialist breast clinic where you’ll have tests that may include a mammogram, ultrasound, MRI and perhaps a biopsy.
13. A change in size, shape or color of a mole
Here you will have to “Ask your partner or a friend to check areas you can’t see, such as your back,”.
Because moles are kind of creepy. Most moles are harmless. But new moles, ones that change in size, shape or colour over weeks or months. Or ones that are crusty, bleed or ooze, need medical advice.
