red spot on breast

hello,

i didn't think i would ever log back into this account after the death of my father a couple months ago but hear i am.

im a massive hypochondriac as i can assume a lot of you guys are after facing cancer either you had or relatives have had. i have recently spotted a red spot on my right breast that isn't sore at all or itchy.

 

is this worth getting checked out? i am not sure if pictures are allowed on here but i'm happy to provide one if it helps.

  • Hello M66

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently noticed some changes to the skin on your breast. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious but do try to stay positive about things as there could be any simple causes for this red area. 

    We'd recommend that anyone who has a health concern gets in touch with their GP as they will be best placed to give you some reassurance and arrange to see you if necessary. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,
