A member asked:
When doing breast exam lying down: is it ok to use lotion? will i be able to feel a cancerous lump with lotion? or will i only feel it with dry hands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast exam ?'s : Using lotion with your breast exams will enhance your ability to feel irregularities , often much more accurately than with "dry hands".
