Strange lump/spot on breast

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Ive tried googling and it wasn’t my friend. I don’t know if a trigger warning may be needed, but it’s regarding a lump thing on my boob. 

I’ve had a lump? Spot? On the underside of my boob for a month. It’s not once come to a head or popped, it looks more like a bruise I guess than a spot? I noticed today it seems to have ‘dimpled’ in the middle, and has got a bit bigger and a large red ring around it has appeared. It doesn’t hurt, it’s more numb than anything. The whole boob also feels, I don’t know, harder? Than the other one, and I’ve been getting sharp shooting pains through it for the last week. 
I’ve left it alone thinking it will go away but I’m now getting a bit worried that it’s not. Should I get it checked out? Leave it to settle? Has anyone had anything similar? 

  • Hi, I'm so sorry you're experiencing these issues. I would definitely get it checked out. It's so much better to be safe than sorry. Any breast changes should be checked as you just never know. X

  • Hi ️ I hope your okay? I know you'll be worrying like crazy. I feel the same at the moment, I can't give advice on what it could be but there are also a lot of breast changes that can be normal! Please get this checked as soon as possible just to be safe and the dr will probably have seen the same as you so many times and will be able to probably tell you what it could be. I'm sorry I can't be much help but if you need anyone to chat to my inbox is open x

  • Thank you both for replying, I think I'm going to give the doctors a call in the morning and see what they say. My mind is just racing currently and I can't help but think the worst. I'm struggling to get to sleep where I'm starting to panic. I have no idea what it could be x
