Self-examination of breasts 1. Stand with your hands naturally down in front of the big R. Observe the appearance of the breasts, the color of the nipples, the position of the nipples, whether there is eczema, and how the small folds of the skin are. 2. Raise your hands behind your head, lift your chest and observe if there is a depression or indentation on the surface of your breasts, lean your body forward and observe if there are small folds on the skin and if your nipples are indented. Turn your body from side to side and observe your breasts from different angles such as front and side. 3. Gently pinch the nipple with your thumb and index finger. For some women, a small amount of white discharge is a normal F-image. If there is bleeding or abnormal discharge, you should consult your physician immediately.
