Hi photomum82
sorry I can't help with the numbness but my best friend noticed a dimple in her breast a few years ago. She saw it when she got out of the shower. It disappeared after a few days but when she mentioned it to her husband he insisted she visit the doctor.
Unfortunately it was cancer. I don't write this to worry you but ANY CHANGE in your breast should be checked out. Most of these things are nothing, just normal changes, thickening, cysts but you need to find out what has caused it, even if the pain is not as bad I would still get it checked out. Piece of mind is worth the effort.
take care

I am 31 and two weeks ago, i noticed a difference in the size of my breasts. Thought i was imagining it but then my partner commented on how one of them seemed to be bigger than the other. A few days after that, i started experiencing pain in my breast running from the side, down to underneath (in the smaller breast). If i lifted up my arms, it felt like my skin was tearing at the bottom. Like it was too tight. I took painkillers to ease the pain but it hardly helped. The pain stayed like that for about a week until Friday. I was doing another check, looking for bruising or any other reason to why i felt so sore and lifted my arms up. Now where i was experiencing the ripping pain, there is a very noticeable dimple. My breast at the bottom now dips in the middle. It's like something is pulling it up from inside. I actually took pictures to look at it properly. Now, it is beside an old scar of 9 years from a breast reduction so could it be caused all of a sudden from old scar tissue? Also, at the top of my nipple, I'm sure there's kind of a dip. Not sure if that was there before. I am going to the doctors at the start of the week to get it checked out. I planned on going Friday morning but was so busy i said i would put it off and go next week if i was still sore. Now with the dimple, i think i really should get it checked. Anyone had this kind of thing and had nothing wrong?
