What Causes Small Pinkish Discoloration On Right Breast?
I have a small pinkish discoloration (4x3 cm) on my right breast, just outside the areola. It s faded a bit from two days ago, and I have no other symptoms. I am worried about inflammatory breast cancer. Is this a possibility, given no other breast-related symptoms?

Hi,
Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest it may be due to breast cancer. Because an early sign of inflammatory breast cancer is discoloration of the breast. A small section may appear red, pink, or purple. I suggest do a mammography of you breast to better evaluate it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
