Breast cancer symptoms

Hi,

The last few weeks I've noticed a white spot on my nipple which kind of looks like if your breastfeeding and milk is trapped, but I'm not breastfeeding. I noticed last night a little blood in there too, nothing leaking out, just like it's stuck. I also keep feeling a tingling in my breast and I have a red mark under my armpit. 
 

I don't know if I would be wasting doctors time by going and worry they will just send me away saying it's nothing. Does it sound similar to something anyone has experienced? Could it just be an infection? I have a family history of breast cancer so am worrying but it could be nothing.

help and advice please xx

  • Hi Rn2404,

    If you've noticed something you're concerned about then it's generally best to speak to your doctor - they can either provide some reassurance or if they feel they need to see you then they'll invite you in (it will likely be a phone appointment initially).

    Wishing you all the best,
