The latter, if left untreated, can lead to breast cancer. Symptoms to watch out for include: * A palpable lump in the breast * Alterations in breast shape * Skin dimpling * Discharge from the nipple * Red or scaly skin patches Factors that elevate the risk of breast cancer encompass age, genetic predispositions, personal history of breast cancer, and specific changes in breast tissue.
