Weird boob skin...

[BathildaBagshot]

I've not yet posted on here but you all seem so lovely that I thought you might be able to give some advice.

I recently noticed a reddish patch on the top of my right breast, looked a little like a mark left by my bra so I dismissed it. Was only after realising that my bra doesn't touch that bit that I had another look and popped some 8 hour cream on it.

The patch is now pretty much skin coloured, but a weirdly dry texture - almost like the remnant from a mild burn (kind of crepey and wrinkly, very thin layer of skin).

Have tried googling it to no avail and can't get to docs for a couple of weeks.

No past skin conditions btw - what do you think it could be?

Have you lost weight at all recently? I had this in the past and had these patches come up, sort of dry and wafery? I did go to the doctors about it and was told it was nothing to worry about. My theory is though, if you are worried, go to the doctor.

I think you need to see your GP about it

I would see the GP about it. Most likely just an odd skin thing, but occasionally some forms of breast cancer present as changes in the skin of the breast.

I agree with exepat, its most likely nothing but Inflammatory Breast cancer presents very differently to the most common forms so its definitely worth having it ruled out by a Dr and if it is nothing, picking up some prescription cream before the sun comes out to clear the rash!

I wish I had lost weight!

I didn't expect so many replies so soon. Will take a day off work and go to GP as didn't realise could be that serious!

And thank you for taking the time to reply

Make sure you post back after your appointment to let us know which dodgy wash powder you have been using!

Will do! Didn't even think of that as a possibility. Ha!
