Are you experiencing breast pain, lumps, and white patches on your mammogram with lupus?
Lupus doesn't cause "mastasis" (which isn't a recognized medical term), but it can cause rashes and discomfort under or between the breasts. A MyLupusTeam member described similar symptoms: "I have a bad rash that flares out and itches several times a day... It's between my breasts!"
However, breast lumps and white patches on mammograms need immediate medical attention, as these aren't typical lupus symptoms. These findings could indicate:
- Breast tissue changes unrelated to lupus
- Infections like candida intertrigo (yeast infection in skin folds)
- Other breast conditions requiring evaluation
It's crucial to follow up with your doctor right away about your mammogram results and breast lumps. While lupus can cause chest pain and skin issues, lumps visible on imaging require proper medical evaluation to rule out other conditions.
Don't delay - contact your healthcare provider to discuss these findings and get appropriate testing and treatment.
