Default How do you know if you've got Breast Cancer? and white stuff coming out of breasts

I know that everyone says to check for lumps. But no one ever says what kind of lumps? Small or big? Should I be checking for lumps that feel like theyre deep underneath the surface? Or right on the surface?

My boobs feel lumpy all over when I feel them, for example if I press hard on them or squish them they just feel lumpy inside.... deep beneath the surface... but thats normal right...?

Also this is a little embarrassing but I have, well I dont know if I would go as far to say its an addiction, but I cant stop myself from squeezing spots/lumps on my skin and that means everywhere, including on my nipples. Little bits of white stuff comes out of the spots on my breast buds, just as if they were normal spots elsewhere. and it also comes out of the main nipple/teat.... and usually i squeeze it out and then in a few days it has built up again in exactly the same places. Its not green or seeping or anything... just little bits of white. does anyone else have this or am I abnormal?

The fat in your breasts is normal, they will feel lumpy and sort of hard. What you need to watch for is new lumps that were not there before type thing. If you keep up self exams and monitor how your body is then you should have a good indication when something is not right.

Those things you are squishing...are pimples. Some big, some small, there is a complete variety. The white stuff is the infection, the pus. No worries though, they happen to everyone. Just keep your skin clean and free of extra oil build up and they should clear, try those oxy pads that are for the face. They will clear up your pores and help keep the tiny infections away.
