Breast discomfort and numbness
by Rzta, Jul 05, 2008 03:40PM
Several weeks ago I noticed a raised area in my left armpit that was slightly numb and itchy. The sensation then progressed to the side of my left breast and under arm area. The numbness discomfort and itchiness has spread to the underside of my right breast. I am concerned as my Aunt died of breast cancer at 49.

Dear Rzta: Without evaluation, it is impossible for us to speculate on what this area may be. Breast cancer does not usually cause pain or discomfort. If the raised area is still there, you should have it evaluated by your doctor.
