Newbie here. 

I’m 26 with no kids. For the last 4 weeks I’ve been suffering with a swollen left breast. Last week I went to get it checked by the GP. He immediately referred me Friday afternoon and I have an appointment later this week with the breast clinic.

Yesterday when I woke up my breast was purple in colour, more swollen and hot to touch. I immediately contacted the nurse who started me on antibiotics to cover me while I waited to be seen to rule out possible infection. When I was being examined she said that the tissue on the outer side had became quick thick and that it was causing her some concerns. As the afternoon went on my nipple started to darken and a burning sensation appeared. 

I have absolutely no pain, I only really notice it’s there due to the amount of swelling. 

Do I have a right to be worried? Everyone’s telling my I’m too young but more recently im hearing that it’s not impossible.
