Beauty Tip: Women and men of all ages, be alerted to and do not ignore any sudden breast changes as it could be indicative of a more serious underlying problem:

• Swelling under the armpit

• Lump in the breast area

• Puckering of the skin (looks like cellulite)

• Normal outward nipple suddenly becoming inverted

• Swelling of glands

• Swelling of upper arm

• One breast increasing in size

• Change to the nipple area

• One breast and nipple suddenly lower than other

PinkDrive currently runs two “Pink” mobile breast check units – 1 in Gauteng & 1 in Western Cape that offers free services to medically un-insured women in the community. The educational unit travels to semi-urban areas around Gauteng with the aim of enabling various disadvantaged communities access to clinical breast examinations and breast health education performed by nurses – we service x80 community health clinics on a rotation basis. The mobile mammography unit operates 3 days in every week at local Community Health Clinics in the Western Cape where x25 free mammograms are offered daily:

1. Macassar Clinic (every Monday)

2. Kleinvlei CHC (every Tuesday)

3. Gustrouw CHC (every Wednesday)
