Both of my breasts have the Peau D orange look underneath and on top where my stretch marks are. I've had them forever, even asked my Doctor about it and was told they are hair follicles. Does everyone have them? and do they just become more prominant when breast cancer swells your breast?

    They are hair follicles and everyone has them.  If you have IBC and peau d'orange, they become extremely pronounced.  The picture you posted in the other thread does NOT look anywhere near as pronounced as mine were when I was diagnosed with IBC.  Go ahead and ask them to do a punch biopsy to ease your mind.
