Focal Asymmetry
Hello, I recently received my first mammogram at 41 years old. I was called back because they found an area of focal asymmetry in my left central posterior breast.

Have any of y'all had gradual visible skin symptoms show up with a confirmed mass that was unrelated to inflammatory breast cancer specifically?
