Dimple/indent to the left of breast, underarm

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a small dimple in the soft tissue to the side of my breast (on ribs, under my arm). I have searched google but everything take me to pages discussing dimples in the actual breast rather than under arm.

I was wondering if anyone knows how far around or under the arm breast tissue goes and if dimples in this area are something to worry about?

I will book a gp appointment, although it is near impossible to get one around here! I worry that doctors will think I am overacting too..

  • Hello Themessthatis,

    The best thing to do is to go and see your doctor about these problems, so I hope you book an appointment soon. You aren't overacting and they will be there to address any concerns you have. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful,
