Change on my aerola since visiting the breast clinic. Should I be worried? I go back on 2nd Feb for a follow up appointment

I recently attended a one stop clinic and was given the okay after ultrasound and mammogram although they said I have lump which is tissue muscle.  The next day I was asked to go back in 2weeks for follow-up appointment which is the 2nd Feb tonight I think one side of my aerola is indented. Should I worry  

  • Hi Michelle_26, 

    I think it would not hurt to mention that you very recently noticed that one side of your areola is indented. If you feel it cannot wait until your follow up appointment to bring it up, I would perhaps make a phone call to your GP just so they can be aware of this latest change and can update your medical records ahead of your appointment. In any case, make sure you mention it when you go back for your follow up appointment just to be safe and to ensure they are familiar with all the details and this change in your areola since you visited the breast clinic. 

    I hope your follow-up appointment goes well on the 2nd and that you can put it all behind you soon. 

    Best wishes,
