Breast concern

Hi. I have what would seem to be cellulite type tissue on the side of my breast, never had before. I am on oral hrt and developed a lot of fat everywhere! Would this be classed as dimpling of the skin? Its only visible when squeezed. Advice greatly appreciated.

  • Hello Sal51 and thanks for your post,

    I would make an appointment with your GP and get them to preform a breast examination. I am sure that if your GP was unsure of the cause of the 'cellulite skin' they would refer you to a breast clinic for further tests. No one on the forum can advise you as it really is only a GP who can examine the breast who can tell you more.

    Try not to over think it for now. The majority of women who are referred to breast clinics don't end up having cancer.

    I hope this helps.

    Do give us a ring if you would like to chat this through with one of the helpline nurses. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best,

    Catherine
