I have a long indent on my breast

Hi,

Im 20 years old and i recently discovered a quite long indent from the top of my breast to beside the nipple, and i only notice it when i stretch my arm up.

It kind of follows the line of a stretchmark and i thought it was just because of that. But i can see the difference in shape when i look down.

Ive requested an appointment with my gp but i cant tell if its something i need to be seriously worried about as whenever i do a check on my breast its completely normal in terms of texture, until i stretch and i can see the indent.

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    We are unable to diagnose anyone on the forum but it does sound like it would be unlikely to be anything too serious. We always encourage anyone who is worried about symptoms to get checked out by their GP just for peace of mind.

    The indentation that you are feeling may just be the shape of your breast so try if you can not to worry too much.

    Hopefully when you see your GP they will be able to address any concerns that you have.

    All the Very best,

    Catherine
