Breast Cancer Symptoms And What You Need To Know
Visible Veins On The Breast

Similar to swollen breasts or the enlargement of just one, visible veins on the breast can be caused by inflammatory breast cancer, a rare form of this condition. This type of breast typically has visible symptoms on the outside of the skin on the breast, rather than just a lump or mass underneath the skin.

However, visible veins on the breast can also be caused by weight gain, pregnancy, breastfeeding, breast surgery, and other benign conditions.
