Breasts are not a common location for keratosis pilaris. You should be examined by a dermatologist for the correct diagnosis and you will need prescription for this condition anyway when you could not eradicate them with OTC products.

I have a small round bump underneath the skin on my breast since 1 month. The skin atop the bump is slightly brown. When I press on it, it feels like it's made of skin. Is this characteristic of inflammatory breast cancer? Should I be concerned?

I showed my GP a bump I have on my breast. She said that she's able to grab & feel all of it between her fingers & that it's in the skin, not breast tissue. She gave me a cream, but the bump is still there after 2 weeks. Might it be breast cancer?
