Sorry this will probably be long.
So, last year I started getting a pain in my left breast that radiates out from behind my nipple. There is also an itch that feels like it’s right inside and no amount of scratching makes it go away. The skin under my breast has gone quite thin and dark. I went to the doctor at the beginning of this year and she told me to come back if I found a lump.
It’s at the point now where wearing a bra is getting too painful and I’m waking up in the night because of the pain. I get that it’s probably nothing serious but I would really like to try to get to the bottom of what it is as it’s starting to have a real impact in my life. Would I be wasting an appointment to go back or do I just live with it?
The other thing I want to discuss is hair loss. Over the past year, I would say my ponytail has more than halved in thickness. My hair is falling out in clumps. Is this also a waste? It’s getting me down.
Generally I just feel really rubbish with no energy. I don’t actually know what I want a Doctor to do...But I’m struggling...
