Small dimple under boob

I have had swollen lymph nodes in my armpits, ongoing for 3 months, went for an ultrasound and it has came back showing that i have excessive breast tissue, nothing to worry about.

I have just spotted a small dimple on my left breast that has never been there before. I don’t want to phone the doctors again and waste anyone’s time if my ultrasound was all clear, should I contact the doctor again or am I all good to leave it as is? 

Its only a small dimple but its never been there before.

  • Hi Pamela and thank you for your post.

    I am happy to learn that your ultrasound showed nothing concerning, but I'm sorry to hear that you have new symptoms that are causing you concern.

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. If you develop any new or worsening symptoms then you should always seek advice from your GP.

    While it’s possible that your symptoms are not related to cancer, it’s best to be safe and have yourself checked.

    Only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to go back and see your GP. They will assess you and decide whether you need to go for tests.

    I hope you know more soon and that everything will be okay for you.

    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.

    Kind regards
