Dent/hole in breast

Hi, about a month ago a small ‘dent/ hole' developed on my left breast. Almost like a large deep pore. There is also a red mark like a small bump which has been there for the same amount of time, I also have another closer to my nipple. I am just wondering whether I should get this checked out with my gp? I can’t feel/see any other changes. Thank you in advanced. 

  • Hello, and thanks for your post,

    It is unsettling noticing changes in your breast and most of the time these changes will be nothing to worry about. It is however a good idea to get any changes checked out by your GP. They can perform a breast examination and if necessary refer you for further tests at your local breast clinic.

    The majority of women referred to a breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer.

    I hope this helps. If you want to chat with one of the helpline nurses you are welcome to give us a ring. 

    Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm

    Take care,

    Catherine
