Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Physiological changes that occur during pregnancy can produce varied symptoms in women. Though swollen and tender breast are very common other symptoms such as pruritic patches/papules – red and itchy patches are also seen in some women.
I believe what you describe are just normal physiological changes of pregnancy and not related to any tumour or serious medical illness.
I would encourage you to visit your doctor / obstetrician to confirm this condition.
Hope this answers your query. Do accept the answer if you are satisfied with my response and do not have any further follow ups. Yet, let me know if I have missed out any other concern.
Wish you good luck!!
With regards
