can biting or pinching cause breast cancer?

Not really, but it can cause mastitis, which is an infection of the breast tissue.  Mastitis can be quite nasty, and it can spread very rapidly.

As a cancer nurse, I can not emphasize strong enough even MEN get breast cancer!!  I'm not saying you have cancer, but I would make an appointment to get it checked out, especially if you noticed changes.  It is most probably a mammary gland or lymph node, but I'd get it checked out to find out what it isn't.  Your body is going thru changes related to puberty, so it could be a hormonal thing. Yes, even men go thru hormonal changes too. You could also have your mom look at it, I know it sounds ickey, but (she probably knows how to do a breast exam on herself) she could touch the areas in question on you and she could give you insight on what is normal. If that grosses you out to much, just tell her you need an appointment with your Dr.

If the person who bites you had aids, and the bite cuts beyond the protective layer (ie brings blood) there is a chance although minimal.  But the AIDS foundation for nursing gives it a 50/50 % rate.

What I've seen in literature is using deodorant AND shaving one's armpits may increase risk of breast cancer.  It was not scientific, but the hunch of an organization of survivor spouses. Plucking axillary hair would probably be similar to shaving.

Fluid in he lungs can be a late complication of severe breast cancer. It is prevented by taking the best care of yourself that you can. Not smoking and going by what your Doctor recommends. It is not a condition that I would worry about unless your Doctor tells you that you are at risk of it. If he tells you so he will advise you of what the best action is to take.

Scabs are caused from being hurt on the outside. Lumps in the breasts usually mean breast cancer.\nSee a doctor immediately.

Matt and Bert are both correct but there are so many factors.  Some kinds of cancer seems to "run" in families.  Recent things I've read indicate that if all men lived to be 80 years old almost all of them would have prostate cancer.  Many kinds of cancer seem to be affected by poor diet, though not directly caused by it.  Smoking and other pollution and chemicals in the environment seem to have an effect.  People who are obese seem to be more likely to get certain kinds of cancer.\n\nThe bottom line is that there is no simple answer to your question.  Do some internet searches for differnt kinds of cancer and you'll get more specific information.

No, usually pain in the breasts is not cancer. I had the same problem and it just cysts. You get cysts around the time of your period. If you are worried go see your obgyn.

a direct link between smoking and breast cancer has not been found, some studies suggest it might increase breast cancer risk, particularly for women who start smoking as teens. Smoking affects your overall health and increases the risk for many other cancers, as well as heart disease. If you smoke, you should make every attempt to quit.

As you have stated, the nipple that child pinches appears deformed, so it cannot be "normal". There could be some itching or burning that child experiences. The girl is 4 years old so she should be able to tell the parent why she keeps pinching and pulling her nipple. She should see the doctor. If there is nothing wrong physiologically then it could be a psychological problem which is also very possible and it might be necessary to see a child psychiatrist. In no way, form or shape it would mean that the child is "crazy", but getting to a core of the problem by talking to a child does help in many cases. It could be just a bad habbit, some kids bite their nails, this child pinches her nipple. Regardless, she should definately see a doctor.\nHope this helps!\nGood luck!

A meta-analysis on this issue was reported in the May 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).  They found 'some evidence' for increased risks of certain types of cancer and recommended additional research.\n\nHope this is helpful for you.

No, cancer is caused by a cell mutation. hitting your breast can cause swelling which may make you think you have a tumor caused by breast cancer. There could be injury to the breast tissue,so if you are still having pain in a few days or if the pain is very severe see a doctor. Place a pack of ice over the swelling(with a towel between the skin and ice) to reduce it.

Men with breast cancer have a higher mortality rate than women with breast cancer, simply because they usually delay diagnosis/treatment for the simple fact that many do not realize they can get breast cancer.  \n\nSymptoms include:\n\n* breast lumps\n* breast or nipple pain\n* nipple inversion\n* nipple discharge\n* change in breast or nipple appearance\n\nMen can get this disease at any time in their lives, though it is most commonly diagnosed in older men.

There are several factors that increase the risk of breast cancer and one of them is age according to my doctor. So please be on the safe side and do your monthly self checks and get yearly mammograms. Good luck.

You need medical attention.  You probably have mastitus, a bacterial infection of the breast.  It could also be cancer.  Neither is anything to mess with.
