Breast

I have recently found a small part of my breast which has a what looks like a scab on it in a strange yellow type colour,the scab is surrounded by redness which has a line of red coming off it. Of any type of pressure is applied to this area it is quite painful. 
just wondering if it's anything to be worried about

    Hi Lisa,

    Welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about the lesion on your breast. Most of us on this site are not medics. We are cancer pilgrims or carers of cancer patients.

    You mention a redness tracking from the scab and, you say that it is sore when touched. I always associate redness with inflammation, so would certainly get this checked out.

    Please phone your GP on Monday morning and ask for an urgent appointment. If you explain your predicament with the receptionist, I am sure that you will be fitted in very quickly. We are living in unprecedented times at the moment, but your GP is still available for consultations.

    I do hope that this is nothing untoward, but coming from someone who has had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 11 years, it is better to be safe than sorry.

    Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
