Advice

Hey, I'm 20 years old and woke up this morning to some kind of rash/ spots on one of my breasts. The spots are like purple in colour, they look like tiny hickeys? That's the only way I could think to describe it. I've heard of Petechiae before but after looking at images of this, it doesn't look the same. I have history of breast cancer in my family so it's always at the back of my head. Do you recommend me going to my gp as soon as they open Monday morning?? Or should I just leave it and see what happens? I've also got two swollen lymph nodes in my neck which I usually only get when I have tonsillitis or a chest infection which I don't have at the moment ? Any advice or experience would be appreciated. Thank you xx

    Hi Loulou,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear about this rash. It may well be something and nothing, but we are always advised to see our GP with any change in our breasts. As a result, you would be best to contact your GPs on Monday and, see what their opinions are.

    At your age, it is unlikely to be anything sinister, but you are always better to be safe than sorry.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you

    Here's hoping for good news.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
