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?

  • 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 ?
