Can picking a blackhead on the underside of my breast increase my risk of breast cancer? i pop it every once in a while but it always comes back.

NO: It is a skin condition, unrelated to breast cancer don't worry , go for regular check ups by your doctoer.

If it is a : Comedone, no risk. But since it never goes away, why not check out with a dermatologist to be more sure what else it might be.
