🌸 Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) 🌸
✨ A rare but benign (non-cancerous) breast condition
✨ Usually affects young women, often after pregnancy or breastfeeding
✨ Symptoms:
• Painful breast lump
• Redness or swelling
• Pus/abscess or small openings on skin
✨ It often looks like breast cancer but it is NOT cancer
✨ Diagnosis is done with a biopsy ALWAYS
✨ Treated with medicines (steroids, immune drugs), sometimes minor surgery
✨ It can re-occur, so follow-up is important
💡 Remember: Every breast lump should be checked—most are not cancer, but only a doctor can confirm.
