Unlikely: But see your pcp and if concern then see breast surgeon. Any other skin spots? See dermatology.

WHITE PIGMENTATION : Located in your breast areola does not mean you have cancer. Dx is suspicious when you have discharge, eczematoid lesions around areola ( pagets), lump with breast calcification during mammogram, etc.
