Help - scared new mum lump?

Hi everyone

 

i am hoping someone may be able to help me, since I had my son 15 months ago I have constantly suffered with dry flaking skin on not only my breasts but most of my torso. Recently however, I have had red sores which turn to scabs after a few days appear round my right nipple and have today found thickening to the skin under my armpit and to where my breast basically joins to my body.

 

I am petrified I am 31 and have a 15 month only baby, I don't even know where to start with this I have googled which is the worst thing to do I know but I genuinely thought it would come back something generic. I feel like I am now over analysing everything with my breast and have started to feel slight warmth and pain when lying down.

 

has anyone else suffered this ? Please share your story.

 

thanks

    Hi Lms89,

    Welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear aout your symptoms and, would advise you to make an appointment with your GP as soon as possible to get this checked out. I am not a doctor, but have seen that many young mums develop problems with their breasts. Many of these are attributable to other causes, so instead of worrying unecessarily, getting this investigated should help you to put your mind to rest.

    We aways advise people to steer clear of consulting 'Dr Google', as this only heightens your anxiety.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
