Really scared ibc

I've woke up this morning and notice a small purple spot on my right  breast 

it looks like it's under the skin 

I'm panicking as that nipple has been very itchy and has a dry patch of skin 

my skin is quite patchy on my breast and always has been but now I worrying it's more 

any advice would be great

    It can be worrying to notice changes in our bodies but most of the times these are harmless and not caused by anything as serious as cancer.

    We always recommend people who have worrying symptoms to get them checked out by their GP, just to be on the safe side.

    You may want to wait a week to see if the mark settles down and try some moisturiser to see if this helps the dryness in the mean time.

    If you notice any other changes or remain worried do get in touch with your doctor sooner.

    Take care
