A member asked:

Im 36 years old, married, with 2 years old baby.my areola of my left breast is bigger circle than my right breast, and in pain 4 months ago, is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds normal: Breasts are not always symmetric. But skin changes and pain can be associated with a mass or cancer. Do monthly self breast exam and annual breast exam with your doctor. If you feel a mass now, go in right away.
