Wtf is growing on the side of me. Warning gross pic

What is it 😥.

Please excuse the stretch marks. There's nothing I can do about them.

It's about 1cm tall. And isn't hard. It doesn't hurt much either.

Ok, I'm going to say it. It looks like skin cancer. The pain in your breast suggests lymph node involvement, which could be trying to fight it. You know this, you are scared, that's understandable.

Please see the GP as a matter of urgency stating all issues. I know you are scared, but time really can't be wasted here.

What hmmbop said. Woman up and find out.

It looks more like it's burst without you realising and left a blood bruise. In my experience the skin will peel like that on top, They leave really ferocious marks/scars.

Go to doctors on Monday. Dont keep putting it off.

Interesting development. It's turned purple and yellow

It is on the same side as my painful breast

I'll call the doctors on Monday

Thanks everyone. Feeling very sad and worried now

That wasn't a sarcastic thanks! I know it sounded like that but it was heartfelt

Hoping it’s not anything serious for you OP. Getting it checked out is the right thing to do.

Do you have an out of hours service where you are? Could you get seen tomorrow?

Looks like an infected bite.

Purple and yellow sounds a bit better, doesn't it? Almost like a bruise.
Try not to worry OP, it's probably nothing but best to get it checked out

Not yet. I've had a poorly toddler so we have been at the gp 3 times in 2 weeks for her.

Why on earth did you not mention it to the Gp at one of the three visits???

Try not to worry OP

The change in colour sounds promising. Go to the doctors on Monday. Don't put it off.

Don’t worry OP, most things turn out to be fine. There’s no point worrying x

Keloid scar

Good luck, I'm glad you're finding out and I hope it's nothing.

Good luck I'm sure it will be nothing serious.

Please make sure you do call, first thing in the morning and get an urgent appointment. Don’t waste another month waiting for an appt. Good luck X

Very glad you're going to get it checked asap

Ummm looks odd, I'd get it checked out ASAP

Did you go to the doctor @ronaldbiliusweasley ?

Asking again @ronaldbiliusweasley dont want to pester you, just hoping you've seen a doctor

Yes, hope you've been OP ☝️

Haven't managed to get an appointment yet. They've been short staffed all week but I called again today and they said they have lots of doctors in tomorrow so to call at 8am.

I go on holiday for a week on Monday so if I don't get an appointment tomorrow. It will be over a week before I can try again.

I thought it was getting better as it turned purple and yellow like a bad bruise. But it's back to being black/very dark purple again.

My daughter has an appointment in a few weeks to have a scan and see a specialist as she has a rock hard lump in her armpit that hasn't gone.

Trying not to bury my head in the sand but it's very tempting!

Call tomorrow at 8am on the dot and get an urgent same day appointment. Don't be fobbed off. Chances are it's something benign but you need to have it diagnosed. Burying your head in the sand isn't an option (but you know that). Why would you want to go on living with the uncertainty? Even if it is something serious you've caught it early. You know it makes sense OP.
