Q: good afternoon doctors. i'm a 61 year old male. could a yellowing of the skin by the left breast that seems to be visible every so often possibly be breast cancer?

: I would not think that yellow skin would be associated with breast cancer. I would be concerned if you had a red appearence in the skin. Yellow skin may be the result of a bruise that you were not aware that you had trauma to the breast.
