Brief Answer:
Following characteristics to consider for breast cancer...

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

Breast cancer has it own characteristics including lump and orange peel texture of the skin, which I was not able to note in the photo you provided. By the way, the quality of photo was not as good for a proper diagnosis.

Now, when we judge over a breast cancer, we evaluate the whole breast and compare one breast with another regarding the:
- skin color and texture
- presence of lumps (consistency)
- nipple changes
- possible discharge
- notable lumps on armpit

Next, I was reviewing the other discussion you had with another collegueae that you have also a bug bite. Can you please specify whether it is located in the breast (the inflammed area noted in the photo) or elsewhere in your body?

If it is located in your breast, most probably the lump is due to bugs bite.

Looking forward to have the requested photo and info in for a more specific advice.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,

I was viewing the new question you posted, and I can say that:
- if the lump is located under the inflammed/red skin area, then, it should be further evaluated. Even if the bug bite is at the same location, that could be a possible cause
- if the lump is not located under the affected skin, then, that redness is showing possible inflammation from scratching or any skin infection (including fungal infection, which are common)

With regards to increasing weight, there might be various factors including:
- metabolic: that should be further investigated
- dietary issues (increase of calorie intake)
- sedentary life
- kidney problems (proteinuria)

Hope it was of help!
