Dimple in underarm

Hi there, around 6 weeks ago I had a dimple appear in my underarm and I've been taking pics (mum had breast cancer and has melanoma) and it appears to have grown/got deeper slightly

I have been to the doctors and she was very dismissive saying no lump so fine (mum had no lumps just inverted nipple) so I'm wondering if I should get a second opinion or just go with what the Dr said?

Thanku xx

  • Hi I'm new to this forum aswell but just wanted to stress to you to get a second opinion from another doctor or insist on further investigation. Hopefully it will be nothing but you know your own body better than any doctor. Don't be fobbed off. I saw my doctor 16months ago with symptoms of invasive lobular breast cancer. He dismissed me as a time waster. I am now awaiting surgery for a mastectomy in the new year. Had he referred me back then, I could have been looking at maybe a lumpectomy. Love and best wishes but please insist on being taken seriously xxx

  • Thanku so much for ur reply n I hope everything goes well for you, I will ask for a 2nd opinion xx

  • Make sure you do especially as you have a family history of breast cancer. All the best and hoping you get a good result. I know it is a worry but be strong and share your concerns with someone close to you. Sending love to you x
