I am 54 and  have the BRCA1 faulty gene.

I have had regular check ups and mammograms.   The NHS recently decided due to my age that MRI scans which I was receiving are not necessary and the hospital  had to make budget cuts.

I had a mammogram 2 months ago which came back ' normal'.

Last night I  found a red shiny lump on  left breast near the nipple.  It does not stand out like a spot or skin boil. It is flat , about the size of a 1 pence coin. Its dark red and skin around it is flaking .  The area around it is inflamed. I can feel the lump which is oval shaped.  The area has been itchy 

I gently squeezed around the lump but no pus , just dark red blood came out.  Like a blood blister.   

Im struggling with anxiety and depression with the menopause  but do not want to waste GP's time if its just a spot.   How long should I  wait to see if it will  heal ? Or should I see the doctor?
