Worried about mark on breast. What should I do?

Hello, 

 

a couple days ago i saw a red spot-kind mark on my left breast and went to squeeze it but theres a shooting pain that goes through the area once squeezed so i left it. today its still there but when i press on it its like a bump under the skin. should i be concerned? i dont want to sound really dramatic but my Nan died from breast cancer and my mum is going through a different type but im still worried. 

 

TIA

    I'm sorry to hear that you've some concerns about a mark on your breast. It's understandable that you're worried especially as you've had family members with cancer. 

    We always suggest that anyone who notices a lump or changes to their breast get things checked out with their GP. I'm sure that they will be able to offer you some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
