Breast discolouration

Hiya I'm new here I went to the breast clinic today due to finding a lump luckily they think it's hormonal but I have discolouration to My left breast and some to my right they aren't too sure what it is the consultant came and had a look and they said they want me back in 4 weeks and maybe a mri it looks like I've had trauma to the breasts but I've had no trauma at all my friends when I showed them they couldn't belive I thought it was normal it's because I have large breasts and I honeslty did think it was normal has anyone ever had discolouration to the breast it looks purple but even the consultant couldn't give me a answer to what it could be 

 

Thank you in advance 

  • Hi Jazzie and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    It's great to hear the team think your lump isn't any cause for concern although I'm sorry about the discolouration of your breast. I know this must be worrying but I hope you can be reassured by the clinic wanting to keep an eye on it and possibly carrying out further tests if needed.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experienced this or something similar will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if you'd like to discuss any of this with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very supportive and will do all they can to answer any questions you may have and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    Kind regards,
