Sore breast area- leave or gp?

Sore area on breast, just above nipple. Almost feels like a bruise. I think its a cyst but do I wait to see if it goes or get it checked out? I've googled but mixed opinions!

why wouldn't you get that checked out?!

Always get it checked!

I currently have this exactly and am waiting for my referral to the breast clinic mostly for piece of mind as they think it’s probably a cyst. If it helps, before the referral the Gp asked; is it cyclical (linked to your period), could I have pulled a muscle, is my bra well fitting, what personal and family history is with breast cancer. Very easy appointment so worth doing, book it today.

If it's sore and red- a and e. Mine was cellulitis, could have been serious if left!

Get it checked out.

it’s probably nothing, but just in case it is something the earlier it’s caught the better.
