Dimpling of the breast skin (can also be known as peau d'orange or organge peel) may indicate the presence of a tumor (benign or malignant) that is blocking the lymph system, causing fluid to accumulate under the skin. You have done the right thing by bringing this to your doctor's attention and having follow-up screening just to make sure.

Please let me know the results of your test one way or another. You may also contact us at our toll free number 866-294-6222 to receive information or speak to someone directly.
