Question 1

is cerave a good moisturizer to use on the breast for pigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Excellent.: Cerave is an excellent moisturizer but not really useful when it comes to lightening of pigmentation. Continue to use cerave but consider adding in a lightening agent such as skinmedica lytera which has been proven helpful off face as well as on face for pigmentation.

Question 2

white area of discoloration under my areola by nipple anything to worry about? all looks normal except this small white area causing me stress. dr did breast exam& felt no lumps color returns normal when nipple is hard. can this be pigmentation?

Accepted Answer

: Did you ask your doctor when she did the breast exam? Google the term "vitiligo", a common cause of patchy loss of skin pigment. It's harmless unless in a cosmetically sensitive location. If that doesn't fit -- or if it does and you remain concerned -- see a dermatologist. In the meantime, this doesn't sound like anything dangerous, like cancer.

Question 3

white pigmentation spot on areola anything to worry about?don't see the white when nipple is hard.dr did a breast exam for another reason. said no lumps. so anxious about this spot. not sure if its a normal color variation or not. can this be cancer?

Accepted Answer

: White or light discoloration of skin can be caused by trauma, fungal infection or dryness. It should resolve within a few weeks. See your Dr if it does not resolve in this time period. Cancer of the skin is typically darker and forms a raised mass. Cancer of the breast is usually felt as lumps and does not present as white/light patches.

Question 4

white pigmentation spot on areola anything to worry about?don't see the white when nipple is hard.dr did a breast exam for another reason. said no lumps. so anxious about this spot. not sure if its a normal color variation or not. can this be cancer?

Accepted Answer

: It is not likely that this is anything you need to worry about, but without at least a photo and possibly an exam it is impossible to correctly identify what you are looking at. This would be a vanishingly rare and highly unusual presentation for a breast cancer.

Question 6

why is my boob unusually hard?

Accepted Answer

Duct blockage: If you have a very hard area on your breast it may be a duct that is blocked. This can happen if your breast has not emptied fully during/after a feed. Try a warm compress and some Ibuprofen can be helpful as well. Continue breastfeeding/pumping to allow for continued release of milk.

Question 7

what are boob pumps?

Not sure what u mean: A breast pump can be purchased after having a baby to help promote milk production. They are available are large retail stores. There are also pumps that are sold under the false impression that they will increase breast size. These are scams and should be avoided.

Question 9

Accepted Answer
