If you are unsure about any changes in your skin or growths arising on the skin, always check with your doctor. He or she can identify skin tags and other skin conditions and can help you decide whether skin abnormalities should be removed.\n\nYou should have it checked as soon as possible, but it could be black because the blood supply has been cut off and it will soon fall off.

Have the dermatologist cut them off or freeze them off.\n\nFYI, too many skin tags is a pre-sign of colon issues in the future, they are learning......so have your colon checked for polyps or cancer when you get older.

YES! Hon, there might be a lump in your breast which is fairly common and they go away but sometimes they don't and they become malignant. Go to a doctor and get checked out. I'm not saying "Hey you have cancer." You probably dont but go to the doc to get rid of the lump or for prevention or possibly just a painkiller...

I am a Certified Breast Care Consultant.  It could be an infection of his lobules, which needs a doctor, or it could be a sign of breast cancer... Breast cancer does occure in men although you don't hear much about it.  Other signs of a possible IBC (Inflammitory Breast Cancer) are retracting of the nipple, change in color of the areola (around the nipple) warm sensation, itching or burning, and many others.  This kind of cancer is not detectible by the usual breast exams. It requires a needle punch biopsy, they would insert a needle and remove a core of a few layers. Much like getting a piercing.  Because it is not a lump, it grows outward in 'sheets'.  If you get it checked out, bring up IBC because it is the fastest growing type of breast cancer, but has not been extensively studied.  Some doctors arent well educated of the type.  Best wishes.

In reply to Domino, it is a misconception that if it is cancer that you can't move it. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 25 and had been previously undiagnosed for two years prior because the doctors said that the lump wasn't hard enough and that they could move it so it was nothing. Two years later when it was twice the size they finally decided to do something about it. My advise to you would be to see your doctor and refuse for anything less than a mammogram or ultrasound. I found that you have to take your life into your own hands because the doctors aren't going to do it for you. You must insist on things like this because if you are under 35 then more than likely your doctor will tell you that it is nothing....which it more than likely is but why take that chance?

No they don't care. You might want to get them checked by a doctor. Inverted nipples can be an early sign of breast cancer or cyst formation.

That size skin tag is too big to try and remove by yourself. You run the danger of having an unsightly scar let alone the problems of infection or bleeding. Even a small skin tag can bleed like crazy when removed so even the thought of trying to remove one that big makes me cringe. Let the Dr do it and then you won't have to worry about making a mess of it.

it is a benign disorder, does not lead to cancer, just ensure that you feel it once a month and if it seems to be changing size or consistency then you talk to your doctor asap, good luck

It's a skin tag. Visit a friendly dermatologist to have it removed. And for the love of all that is holy, don't pop it...

I don't hink wearing bra will cuase breast cancer. Deodorant is one of the biggest causes and obviously if it runs in the family genetically you could also be prone.\n\nI found in Marks and Spencers the other day these stick on nipple covers that will just go over your nipples and prevent them from getting rubbed

being small has nothing to do with it.. and you doctor is stupid bc breast cancer starts inside the milk thing i forgot what it is called and spreads to the outside by the time  it spreads to the outside to where you can feel it it has become stage 2,3,4,5 .. im small and i have stage 3,,so with a mamogram they catch it before it moves to where you can feel it...get a mamogram every year for age 40 and over or high risk...

Tell your doctor and he/ she will schedule a mammogram to check for cancer cells in the breast.  Just because a man's breast is not developed, he still might get cancer of the breast.

I suggest you go to the doctor and get it checked.  \n\n    It could be cancer.\n\n             Don't wait\n\n                          Wish you well

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.

From a professional standpoint I would get it checked.  There are programs out there to help you cover the costs of medical expenses.  A doctor cannot refuse you treatment due to inability to pay.  A really good program that could help you out is the Hill-Burton Act.  I spent many years working on an Oncology Unit (Cancer unit) in our local hospital and know that one of the signs of breast cancer is nipple discharge.  I don't want to scare you , only inform you.  Finding out now is best because there are treatments available that can stop the growth if it is cancer, and better to catch it early.  I will keep you in my prayers.
