Tina The kind of changes that you describe need an evaluation.If it looks like orange peel, this needs immediate attention.This could also be an inflammatory problem which can be evaluated.A mammogram may not be needed .I am glad you do not feel a lump, but breast changes of any kind are very important to get checked.The American Cancer Society,not that I am saying you have cancer,or the Susan B Komen Foundation may have low cost resources in your area.Also, depending on where you live check with your city for health care service safe ,low cost resources. Thank you for listing your medications.You are very smart to carry your medications in their original bottles when getting medical evaluations.Please let me know what happens.Thanks.
