Dimple/indent on left breast

Ask our Nurses your questions
1

Morning all, im 43 years old female. I had a sebaceous cyst on my left side in January which got infected and took almost 2 months to heal, i was referred to breast clinic for that but they never did any scan. Since then i keep getting on and off burning sensation on that side some times that side of the breast hurts too, recently i have noticed an indent on the same breast and feel like the size of that breast has increased a little. Google search is scaring me but im still confused whether to get it checked or not ,as i feel like im over reacting to this. I have tried to upload a picture of the indent too. Thanks. Plz guide accordingly :pray:

@bia1 definitely best to get it checked. Hopefully your mind will feel better but if it does need dealing with then best to do it sooner rather than later. Good luck

Hi bia1

Thanks for posting. We’re unable to comment on photos.

It’s understandable you are scared after googling your symptoms. We know that this often increases anxiety so is best avoided.

As @elsie1 says its best to get this checked out so do make an appointment with your GP to let them know about all the symptoms you have. They may decide to refer you back to the breast clinic for another assessment. This isn’t overreacting it’s important to know the cause of the breast changes you have. You can also speak to your GP about pain relief.
