Spider veins and redness

 

Hi I have recently put on a little weight and noticed that around my nipples my breasts have red spider like veins that you can see when I stretch the skin you can see then more visibly after a shower it goes red in patches sometimes purple and will be very cold to touch I havent been too worried as I've not noticed any other changes I have been to gp she didn't seem too worried checked all over but still didn't tell me what it is  and coping with health anxiety also it is also on both breasts but more visible on my bigger one

  • Hello Rachlou88

    I'm sorry to hear that you have some concerns about your breast health at the moment. I can see that you posted a very similar message in our Ask the Nurses topic area just before Christmas and that Nurse Catherine replied to you. I'm unsure if you've seen her response but I'll link it for you here in case you've not had a chance to read her response. 

    Do make an appointment with your GP to discuss your concerns if you're still feeling anxious as they will be best placed to support you with this. 

    I hope that you have some reassurance soon. 

    Best wishes,
