BREAST SKIN DIMPLING

Articles written by
Mr. Harvey Minasian MS(London) FRCS

Breast skin dimpling
Like nipple retraction, the appearance of skin dimpling as a new finding, could be due to an underlying cancer. The mechanism is much the same but there are also some innocent causes producing the same effect. Please see a breast specialist at an early stage should you notice any dimpling. The best way to check your breast for the presence of dimpling is to raise your arms at the shoulder as high as you can (to stretch the breast skin) & look into a mirror.
