A member asked:
Is it possible to get skin cancer on the breast and have it become a lump in your breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: A skin cancer on the breast left to grow might invade down into the breast and become a breast lump, but the usual skin cancers appear on the surface and can be removed well before they make a significant deep mass.
