Hi all: 

I have a red what appears a spot on my left Breast just above my nipple. it appeared around 3 weeks ago and if still very red, however I have noticed the inner of the 'spot' is purple. The skin appears to be flakey over that area. 
 

 

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I am afraid that we cannot tell you if this spot is anything to be concerned about. Therefore, if you are worried about it do make a GP appointment to get it checked out. 

    In the meantime do not keep touching and prodding this spot, if indeed you are. Doing this might aggravate it and make it look worse.  

    I hope you know more about it soon. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
