Cellulite type dimpling on the side of my boob

Hi all

Here to just be able to type this to get it out of my head. When I tense by boobs I can see a little bit of what looks like cellulite on the side of my boob. In some lights I’m now even sure it’s there. It’s only there when I tense. But I’m going to call the docs tomorrow and hopefully be seen by someone. I’m very freaked out but I am prone to health anxiety at the best of times. I am 47 and have no other signs or symptoms. Apart from my boob is sore from my constantly prodding it.

  • Hi tambourine 

    yes it’s best to get it checked lovely good luck x 

  • Uodate. My GP did a good examination and look and didn’t it was anything to worry about but she wanted to refer me to the breast clinic to be sure. I have that on Thursday and I’m pretty scared. I’ve also now got a little red blemish on the same boob in a different place. It’s not scaly or itchy but im now freaking out. Can’t think of anything else tbh! Trying to think it’s been hot, could be a sweat thing or whatever but of course down a whole hole of worry now. Roll on Thursday for better or worse! 

  • How did this ever turn out? I’m having the same symptoms 

  • Hi. I went to the breast clinic and had a physical exam, mammogram and ultrasound. There was nothing found. The doc thought it was caused by loose skin from my boob size fluctuating due to HRT. I ho e you get similar news. ️ ️ ️

  • Thanks for your reply and glad to hear it was okay. I really hope so too. Have my appt this Tuesday morning and honestly am dreading it. Trying to keep positive but it’s hard as I have very bad health anxiety too. Can only see this dimple/dents when I look from the side in the mirror with the right lighting. Can’t feel it if you get me. 

  • Sounds very similar to me but it really is best to get it checked. I was terrified! Wept at the clinic more than once. But ultimately if it had been something then it was better to know. You have my total sympathy and love. I just tried to write myself some parameters for each day- I’ll only google symptoms 3 tones today, I’ll remember I trust my gp and she thought it would be ok, I’ll go on a 20 min walk today etc etc! I also set up a good pal to text while I was at the clinic which helped. 
    good good good luck. 

  • Thanks so so much that means a lot to me all of it. I can’t feel any lump so if there’s one there I’m hoping it’s tiny and my doc couldn’t feel either but I know they are quite lumpy and always have been. I find myself really worrying and oaniciking at times and other times I’m not so bad but it’s always creeping in the background. Forums have helped a bit but trying not to obsess over them either. Did your boob size fluctuate much? I had a baby 7mo back and my boobs have changed they aren’t as firm but I didn’t breastfeed although I know pregnancy itself and the hormones and change etc xx
