Does anything besides Breast Cancer cause dimpling of breast skin


Does anything besides Breast Cancer cause dimpling of breast skin?
I've looked as best as I could online; and have pretty much come up empty-handed as to any other causes for dimpling of the skin on breasts; besides cancer. Are there any other conditions that could possibly cause this to happen?

A dimpling of the breast skin or nipple could be from the loss of elasticity in the supporting ligaments as you age. Gaining or losing weight causes changes in the breasts. So do a woman's hormones. Prior to each menstrual period, the surge in estrogen and progesterone stimulates fluid retention and growth in breast tissue. Breasts may swell an entire bra size every month and also become tender and lumpy. Then when menopause arrives, breasts may lose their firmness. It doesn't have to be cancer. Don't be frightened, to get peice of mind see a gynocologist
