Not always. An itchy rash on the breast is commonly caused by dry skin, allergies, eczema, or irritation from fabrics and skincare products. However, if the rash doesn't go away, keeps recurring, or is associated with redness, swelling, skin thickening, or ni**le changes, it is important to get it checked. Early evaluation helps rule out any underlying concerns and ensures timely treatment.

World Thyroid Day celebrated doing what I do best — sharing the nuances of safe thyroid surgery and the lessons that help me sleep well after every thyroidectomy.

Had a wonderful time at the CME on Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery at Believers Church Hospital, Thiruvalla. Presented my video on safe thyroid surgery, exchanged ideas, and most importantly, met friends old and new.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute, connect, and continue striving for safer surgery and better patient care.

There is no proven scientific evidence that deodorants or antiperspirants cause breast cancer.

This myth began because these products are used near the breast area and contain aluminum compounds, but studies have not found a direct connection. The amount of aluminum absorbed through the skin is extremely low and considered safe for regular use. If you notice any skin irritation or unusual breast changes, consult a doctor for proper evaluation.

Even small amounts can increase breast cancer risk.

Grateful to be on the faculty panel at the SGPGI Breast Course, discussing the complexities of young and pregnancy-associated breast cancers, topped with an insightful rapid-fire session.
