Hey all posting in here as I can’t get to the doctors
I’ve noticed some changes in my right side chest
It’s not so much my boob it’s more when the skin leaves chest before boob starts more like my side boob
When I raise my arm there’s 2 little dimples and the tissue above looks a bit swollen.
I am big boobed and the other side has similar but not as swollen and no dimples on that side
I’m also 7 months post partum and stopped breast feeding 5 month ago.
I have had a small period this week
I may be over reacting and just changes after birth
I’ve only noticed as when I’ve been going to the gym it’s been annoying me on that side when I wear a tighter sports bra.
Anyone had similar
Also worth noting
No lumps or bumps in arm pits breasts or anything it’s more it feels like swelling.
No other symptoms and fit and well
Hi I’m a great believer in getting any breast changes checked out , might not be anything but worth ringing GP x

I agree with @charlottebee - any changes are worth getting checked out just for peace of mind if nothing else x

The side boob under your armpit is also breast tissue. If it feels odd or different to you, go by your instincts and get it checked out.
Most issues with our boobs are not cancer and as you are post partum it could be hormone related but you won’t know u til it’s checked. That’s what I would do.
Congratulations on your baby👶 I hope it all works out for you and it was nothing to worry about. If there is a problem the forum will be here for you.
A couple is useful links.

Thought I would update
I had a doctor appointment today pre arranged so utilised the time to get checked
Basically I have some bruising to my side torso which is the reason for swelling and could be linked to the gym as I’ve been active 7 days a week to loose the baby weight
He showed me the bruises with a photo thank goodness
The dimpling is not a concern it’s basically a weight loss thing with fat pockets reduced.
I’ve been thinking. The worst all
Weekend and feel reassured
And doctors orders to have 7 days off the gym to allow the issue to heal !
