Spot on breast.

Hi, 

ive had a red spot on my right breast, it's just above my areola. I've had it since the end of may, I've attempted to pop it to see if it was acne but blood has come out both times. If I leave it alone, nothing leaks from it, it stays the same. It hasn't gotten any bigger as far as I can tell. I have the odd itch sometimes but it's usually the same on both breasts. The spot is squishy, doesn't hurt, and there are no apparent lumps in the breast. I was in the bath last night and I had a bit of redness but I think it's from where my breast was leaning against my arm as it disappeared within less than 2 minutes. I'm unsure if I can post images here. Has anybody had anything similar?

  • Hello kaylaw,

    I'm sorry to hear that you found a spot on your breast which is making you, understandably worried.

    Hopefully other forum members who encountered the same will come along shortly to share their stories with you but it might be a good idea to make an appointment with your GP to have this red spot checked, if you haven't already booked one. Most of the time these signs are nothing sinister but it's always best to check with someone with a medical background, as they're the only ones who can properly evaluate your symptoms.

    All the best,
