Dimple in breast when flexed

Hi,

before lockdown I noticed one armpit was a lot more swollen looking than the other. Something that really concerned me. I phoned one dr. (A male) who said I was young and had no reason to be concerned as he wasn't, this was over a phone! The second time I phoned a few months later as it was still bothering me I got a face to face appointment with a female student dr. She felt about said she wasn't sure what it could be but wasn't concerned about BC as again I'm young and to take anti-flammatory things. 
Now 1 month on I've noticed if I put my hand on my hip or flex there's a faint indented line along the bottom of my left breast... the same side I have the swelling. 

Ive made yet another appointment but again it's an over the phone one. Has anyone had an indent when flexing that hasn't been BC??

    Hi!

    I'm also young (20) and for a while now i've had a dimple on my left breast, that was present even when i wasn't flexed. I had a phone consultation with my GP who gave me an in-person appointment yesterday with a young female GP who was so lovely and understanding. although she said it doesn't seem like it's anything serious she's referred me to the breast clinic. i booked my appointment today for next week, but they told me that i should expect to be there for a few hours, which surprised me. I will keep you updated on my situation, in case it does turn out to be nothing!

    I'd love an update on your phone consultation - how did it go and what did they say? I would definitely recommend for you to push towards having a physical examination if you're still concerned, i was so scared for mine but it really wasn't as bad as i thought!

    Hey!

    I'm 26 and off to the breast clinic tomorrow to have my right breast checked out. I originally went to the GP in Oct 2020 because my breast felt a lot heavier and a little bigger than usual. She put it down to hormones and I went on my Merry way. Fast forward to March 2021 and my husband notice I now have a dimple. Went to the GP again and now have appointment tomorrow morning at the breast clinic. During the two weeks since spotting the dimple and now going to the clinic, I have more dimples, a lump and slight orange peel skin. I will let you know how I get on tomorrow. It could still be nothing but I'm not hopeful.

    Sending lots of love,

    UPDATE:

    Visited the Brest clinic this morning. Dr said she could feel the lump and so sent me for an ultrasound scan. The dr who scanned me said she couldn't see anything at and so I have been sent home. The mind boggles and I guess I will just keep an eye on it :)

    Lots of love,
