Men, check your pecs. Breast cancer is most often found in women, but men can get breast cancer, too. About 1 out of every 100 breast cancers diagnosed in the United States is found in a man.
The most common symptoms of breast cancer in men are:
A lump or swelling in the breast.
Redness or flaky skin in the breast.
Irritation or dimpling of breast skin.
Ni**le discharge.
Pulling in of the ni**le or pain in the ni**le area.
These symptoms can happen with other conditions that are not cancer. If you have any symptoms or changes, see your doctor right away. For more information, visit https://www.cdc.gov/breast-cancer/about/men.html.
