Checking your breasts about once a month allows you to know what is normal for your body so you can quickly spot any unusual changes. 💗

**Know the signs. Trust your instincts. 💗**

One lesser-known and rare symptom of breast cancer is called *peau d’orange* — a French term meaning “orange peel.” It describes skin on the breast that looks dimpled, thickened, or textured like the surface of an orange.

This can be a sign of inflammation or changes beneath the skin that should never be ignored.

⚠️ What to look out for:
• Skin that appears puckered or dimpled
• Swelling or heaviness in the breast
• Redness or warmth
• Changes in skin texture that don’t go away

If you notice anything unusual, please don’t wait — get it checked by your GP.

Early detection can save lives.
