Dimple on breast

Hi all! I'm 22 years old and have noticed an indentation/dimple on the side of my left breast. It's relatively noticeable, particularly if I'm tensed up. My mum has advised that I make an appointment to see a GP but I don't want to be wasting time and resources if it's likely to be nothing.

What do you think?

Hi jess.

Please get this checked out.
I'm 34 years old and had a dent in my right breast which was more pronounced when I lifted my arms up. On the 17th August 2020 I was diagnosed with stage 2 lobular breast cancer.
I don't want to scare you in the slightest but I nearly got turned away when I got checked out because of my age, it's only because my mum had it before me that they gave me the tests which picked it up.
On the upside though, us younger ladies have very dense and lumpy boobs so it could be a simple cyst or some scar tissue from an injury. Its not always a worse case scenario, so don't worry until you know.
Sending you lots of luck that you don't ever have to be a pink fighter.

Hi Lorna

Thanks for replying to my post and sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

I went to see my GP this afternoon, they've referred me to a breast cancer clinic for scans but due to my age I won't be a priority (understandable) but may not even get an appointment (slightly less understandable). I'll keep my eyes peeled for a letter!

Hi jess,
wondered how you got on? I too have a dent on my breast which goes into line, I'm being seen at the breast clinic on the 21st and am so worried, just hoping to get a glimmer of hope from someone that's it's not cancer
