Breast Cancer |
My friend found a white spot12/14/2007 |
I have a friend who found a milky white spot in the center her nipple. It looks just like a small white pimple. The thing is is that she has a spot just like that on her forehead. It`s just like a pimple but a little harder. Anyway, she is so scared that it might be a sign of breast cancer. What is it and is it a sign of breast cancer? My friend is 34 years old.
This is unlikely to be a problem. It is most likely a sebaceous cyst which is a benign mass of the skin. These cysts do not become cancer but they can get infected just like a pimple. If your friend remains concerned, she should see her doctor.
