Puckered skin armpit

Hi 

Just wondering if anyone has had same. Found puckered skin in armpit only (just one indentation- sort of similar to where a mattress has a button but in my armpit). 

I have been feeling a bit nauseous on and off recently and also have some aching in the armpit on and off. I’m getting this checked (booked in next Monday 11/02) just wondering if anyone had similar and what outcome was. Cannot stand the waiting. 

Many thanks!

  • Hi MumK,

    Sorry to hear you have had this issue. The waiting and uncertainty can be very difficult. It's good that you have an appointment booked for Monday.

    Hopefully other users will be along soon with some words of advice if they have had a similar experience.

    I hope you manage to take your mind off it over the next few days. Wishing you all the very best.

    Ok so for me I’ve been lucky enough that this isn’t cancer. They said the puckering is past the breast tissue and did an ultrasound to see if the puckered skin was anything to be worried about. Ultrasound showed nothing pulling skin onwards so nothing to worry about.

     

    Everyone I saw said worth the check, so keep on the look out and check anything unusual with your doctor!
