A member asked:

There's a small dry brown patch 2cm under my nipple and sometimes i get pains in my left breast. the other breast is just normal, what do i do?

See Doctor: It's recommended women over 40 have mammography done. Usually, following an exam, and mammography, if problem persists, see specialist to rule out cancer. Good Luck
