I have found a dent in my boob

Hi, I'm not really sure what I am hoping for by posting this but I guess I'm just feeling anxious.

I have found quite a large dent on my right breast. I can only really see it when I lift my arm. I can't feel any lumps (I think) breast tissue is lumpy and bumpy it is so hard to tell what is what! 

Anyway, I'm really panicked by this. I have an appointment to see a nurse on Wednesday to check it over. Honestly, I think im just wondering how common is it to find dents in your breast and it not be cancer? 

I'm 24 and healthy and I feel fine, no pain or anything. 

  • Hi Dotty and welcome to the forum.

    I just wanted to stop by to wish you good luck for today and let you know we're thinking of you.

    I hope the nurse is able to put your mind at ease about this but if you want to talk things through with our team of nurses after your appointment then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    There have been many discussions about breast indentations so I'm sure you'll hear back from our members soon.

    All the best,
