Breast dimples…watch and wait?

Hey guys, just looking for some advice. 

I have 3 dimples on the underside of my breast. One looks like a thumb print shaped crater, and the other two look like shallow grooves which together form a line about 2 inches long. All of them are only visible when I raise my arm (but disappear when i lie down, and I can stretch them out - I'm hoping that's a promising sign?)

 I’m 38, and my boobs are 38dd so quite big. 

Trouble is, my GP says that, because I don’t have a lump, pain, nipple discharge/inversion nor any family history, we don’t need to worry, and can just check in with her again in 4 weeks to check the dimples haven’t changed. 

Should I trust my GP, or would you push for a referal? I appreciate she is both a doctor, and a woman…so should know what she is talking about, but I’ve read so many stories about women who had breast dimples with no lumps, but still had cancer. 

I guess what I’m asking is….what would you do?

  • Hi sorry you find yourself on here. I would definitely push for a referral. My experience was one dimple on the top of my breast when I looked down I could see it but not all the time. My GP didn't think I had anything to worry about but she referred me as it was a change. I don't want to worry you as I know there ate other reasons for this happening but unfortunately for me it turned out to be early stage breast cancer. Hope you manage to get that referral to get checked and put your mind at ease. Always here if you need a chat. Xx

  • Hey there

    sorry I know this is late to reply . 
    I am going to the hospital for tests on Wednesday (absolutely terrified ) I also have a dent on the  top of my right breast and a lump to the right of it . I also have some indentation underneath when my arms are raised . 
    the Gp said she wasn't concerned about the lump at all as this could be anything but the dent she was concerned about . I have found that I'm going completely mad and my thoughts have gone to some dark places . 
    I thought I was fabricating a lot of my symptoms but when the GP confirmed them all I was relieved that I wasn't crazy but at the same time my world flipped upside down. 
     

    scared is an understatement . 
    What did your dent look like and could you feel anything under it !? 
     

    I hope things for you are ok now ?
