Breast Issues

Could a blueish/purple ring around both nipples and breast tenderness be an indication of  cancer.  There is no possibility of pregnancy, but the breast have also gotten fuller and this blueish ring gets bright and then fades.  It has been here for a couple of weeks.

Hey thanks for your thoughts.  I can't tell you the last time I ate eggs or chicken.  Never tried soy, but am 38 so might be nearing perimenopausal stage of my life.  I also have a low white cell count of 2.9 and low red cell count.  I have psoriatic arthritis and little red bumps on my stomache.  The issue with the breast has just appeared...not sure if an infection could do somthing like that or not!  Thanks again!

I wonder if it's an external influx of estrogen. If you eat 'fortified' eggs or chicken frequently, that's a source of excess hormone. Also, excess soy in the diet can add too much estrogen to your body. While breast cancer doesn't usually present this way, it would be worth a trip to the doctor if only to ease your mind. Blessings!
